(October 12, 2004): Former Republican Organization Workers Says He Was Only Paid to Register Republicans

In Portland, Oregon, Mike Johnson, age 20, tells KGW News that he formerly worked for Voter Outreach of America—a name used by the Republican-financed political consulting firm, Sproul & Associates—as a canvasser registering people to vote. He says that his former employer instructed him to only accept Republican registration forms. His boss also told him that forms turned in by Democrats might be “destroy[ed]” since he was being paid by the Republican party. [KGW 8 (Portland, OR), 10/13/2004]
