There is nothing wrong with hiring people to register new voters. There is something wrong with setting quotas and having your job dependent on those quotas. Also, these registration forms, whether they are filled out correctly or not, have to be turned in. It is up to the registrar to check for accuracy. It's why we have a system of checks and balances.

Overall. this is an excellent effort to register new voters. Democracies do not work very well when few take part. Yes, they have had problems. Some of the canvassers actually cheated. The fact that they hired people who were down and out or felons is not a bad thing at all. These people needed jobs.
