Memos reveal FBI faced roadblocks to prosecute possible 2020 Michigan voter registration fraud
By: Just The News, July 19, 2026:
The FBI collected witness interviews alleging voter registration fraud in Michigan in 2020. Newly-disclosed documents show the case was delayed, and ultimately “killed” by the Biden administration.
Contained in the trove of election-related documents President Donald Trump released to the public on Thursday are the FBI’s investigative files and communications about a possible voter registration fraud scheme in Muskegon, Mich., that ended without prosecution.
In 2020, the Muskegon Police Department and Michigan State Police identified a possible voter registration fraud scheme centered on a firm called GBI Strategies.
It prompted an investigation after which the materials were turned over to the FBI, according to the dozens of pages of police reports from the Michigan agencies reviewed by Just the News in 2023.

The declassified files show, for the first time, how the FBI conducted its investigation into the allegations and provide new details about what became of the probe.
“The documents state that some canvassers admitted to FBI agents that they signed voter registration forms in other people’s names, submitted fraudulent registration for people who did not exist, and received gift cards tied to their number of applications that they produced,” President Trump said on Thursday. “In other words, it was pay, play, and cheat.” The president said he is asking the FBI Director to reopen the probe to ensure that the matter is fully investigated and accused the Biden Justice Department of slow walking the probe.
The Muskegon Police Department began investigating GBI Strategies after the Muskegon City Clerk’s Office reported suspected voter registration fraud, according to a police report dated Oct. 16, 2020, which Just the News obtained from a FOIA request in 2023. The Muskegon Police Department, alongside the Michigan State Police, found that some of the registration forms included biographical information that did not match to real people or addresses that did not exist.
Michigan’s Attorney General eventually referred the probe to the FBI because of its national jurisdiction, Just the News reported.
But, what the FBI did with the information remained a mystery. In September 2023, the FBI denied a Freedom of Information Act request from Just the News seeking its investigative files into the suspected fraud, citing an exemption in that law regarding ongoing investigations.
The now-public documents show that the FBI team in Detroit conducted several interviews with canvassers who registered people to vote as part of the campaign organized by GBI Strategies. Many told investigators directly that they were told to fill out false information or that they believed it was likely that others were doing so, according to the FBI-302 memos made public by the White House.
FBI-302s are forms used by the bureau to summarize interviews taken during an investigation.
ADVERTISEMENTOne canvasser alleged that the local company leadership directed employees to fill in fake information in order to complete more applications.
“[Name redacted] told all of the employees that if they couldn’t get enough applications, they should just fill them in,” according to one FBI-302 of a canvasser. “One of the employees asked what this person meant […] whichever [person] it was picked up a blank application and filled it out with made-up information and said, ‘this is what I mean.”
Canvasers told to make up names or use anyone else’s name
Further, the employee alleged the leadership said “to put any number she could think of for the social security number, but not to use her own social security number or date of birth” and that “she could make up names or use anyone else’s name.”
“[Redacted] would return to the office at the end of her shift and fill in enough blank sheets with made-up people so that she reached her daily quota,” the FBI-302 said. The individual told investigators that she estimated she submitted “100 fake voter registrations” to the group.

Another canvasser who worked for the company for about a week in 2020 said he “never collected any names,” but would “just sit in his car the whole shift and would put down a name of a friend or relative in order to have something to turn in with his clipboard.”
