Mark Meadows, a former congressman from North Carolina, has been removed from the voting rolls in that state after investigators discovered that he voted in the commonwealth of Virginia in 2021.

googletag.cmd.push( function() { // Enable lazy loading. googletag.pubads().enableLazyLoad({ renderMarginPercent: 150, mobileScaling: 2 }); // Display ad. googletag.display( "div-id-for-top-300x250" ); googletag.enableServices(); });

The investigation was kicked off when a New Yorker article revealed that Meadows and his wife Debra had completed voter registration forms in 2020 attesting that they resided at a 14-by-62-foot mobile home in Scaly Mountain (pop. 312), a town just four miles from the Georgia border.

The Meadows family may have vacationed at the property some years ago, but they certainly do not own it or live there, and it seems unlikely that the could have claimed it as their residence and used it to vote in North Carolina by accident. Meadows has offered no comment, but this certainly walks and quacks like vote fraud. Which is more than a little ironic, since Meadows, who left Congress to be Donald Trump’s White House Chief of Staff, aggressively promoted lies about rampant election fraud being used to steal the White House for Joe Biden.

This is the guy who pressured the Justice Department to investigate a bizarre election fraud theory that involved Italian space lasers, bricks of Iranian cash, and Barack Obama (of course). As the Washington Post points out, Meadows’s own book harps on the supposed danger from absentee ballots, a lightbulb realization which he credits to his boss’s bigly brain powers of observation.

googletag.cmd.push( function() { // Enable lazy loading. googletag.pubads().enableLazyLoad({ renderMarginPercent: 150, mobileScaling: 2 }); // Display ad. googletag.display( "div-id-for-middle-300x250" ); googletag.enableServices(); }); googletag.cmd.push( function() { // Enable lazy loading. googletag.pubads().enableLazyLoad({ renderMarginPercent: 150, mobileScaling: 2 }); // Display ad. googletag.display( "div-id-for-storycontent-440x100" ); googletag.enableServices(); }); googletag.cmd.push( function() { // Enable lazy loading. googletag.pubads().enableLazyLoad({ renderMarginPercent: 150, mobileScaling: 2 }); // Display ad. googletag.display( "div-id-for-in-story-youtube-1x1" ); googletag.enableServices(); });

“President Trump had alerted us to the strong possibility that there would be fraud connected to these mail-in ballots, and we wanted to be on the lookout for it,” he wrote.

Seems like Meadows was intimately familiar with ways the absentee ballot process could be manipulated by someone willing to break the law, even without his boss “alerting” him. AHEM.

But no more! As first reported Wednesday by the Asheville Citizen-Times, the Macon County Board of Elections has removed Meadows from its rolls. After consulting with the North Carolina Board of Elections, she “found was that [Meadows] was also registered in the state of Virginia. And he voted in a 2021 election.”

Under North Carolina General Statute 163-57, a person who votes in another jurisdiction “shall be considered to have lost residence in that State, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district from which that person removed.” And since Meadows cast his ballot in Virginia’s off-off-year election, he’s now off the rolls in North Carolina.

According to the Post, the Meadowses now reside in a 6,000 sf waterfront home in Sunset, South Carolina. And unlike the Scaly Mountain property, they actually own this one.

No word on which state boasts Mark Meadows’s voting registration, right now, though. But according to the Post, the Mrs. is still registered to vote at the North Carolina trailer.

Womp, womp.
