Mark Meadows no longer registered voter in North Carolina

Another one of Trump's henchmen has been found guilty of something he was championing against: voter fraud.

Former US Chief of Staff under the Trump administration, Mark Meadows, has been removed from North Carolina's list of registered voters following documents that showed he lived in Virginia and voted in the state's election in 2021, officials said Wednesday.

North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein's office asked the State Bureau of Investigation to probe Meadows' voter registration. The investigation was over Meadows listing a home he never owned and may never have visited as his legal residence.

Meadows was an avid attacker of the issue of voter fraud ahead of the 2020 presidential election when polls showed that Biden was gaining ground against Trump - even after the former won against his Republican counterpart - in a bid to suggest that the Democrat was not the legitimate winner. He even went as far as reiterating the claims of voter fraud in his 2021 memoir, saying the election was pried from Trump's hands.

The North Carolina general statutes stipulate that if a person goes into another state, country, municipality, precinct, ward, or another election district, or into the District of Columbia, and while there exercises the right of a citizen by voting in an election, "that person shall be considered to have lost residence in that State, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district from which that person removed."

Public records indicated Meadows had been registered to vote in Virginia and North Carolina, where he listed a mobile home he did not own as his legal residence weeks before voting in the 2020 election in the state.

Meadows later cast an absentee ballot for the general election by mail, and Trump won the state by just over 1%.

The Macon County Board of Elections announced his removal from the voter rolls saying it had received no formal challenge and was referring the matter to the SBI.

County District Attorney Ashley Welch had asked the attorney general's office to handle any investigation into Meadow's voter registration, refusing herself from the probe due to Madows' contribution to her campaign for DA and his public endorsement of her.
