"Yes ma'am," Britt says. "We were paid by the amount of people we had registered...For every 50, myself and whoever my partner was at the time would receive a certain amount...I think the amount was between $150-$175."
"You would collect them?"
"Yes ma'am," Britt says.

"Brought in by McCrae Dowless, 10/4/2018" the form says.

"Yes sir." - Britt
"And you have a felony conviction?" - Elias
"Yes sir." - Britt
"What was that for?" - Elias

"Yes," Sandra Dowless says. "Mr. Harris called McCrae and he apologized and said he'd been busy all day. McCrae said I want you to know you're way in the lead, things are looking good here."
"Because he didn't ever have any money," she answers, drawing laughs.
"I was told if I didn't fill it out, it would get filled out for me...I was not familiar with the politics," she says.
