The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation had submitted to state prosecutors the findings of its voter fraud probe into Meadows, who was simultaneously registered to vote in North Carolina and two other states earlier. The AP reported:
Meadows, a former Republican North Carolina congressman, was removed from the state’s voter rolls in April after Stein’s office asked the bureau to examine his voter registration records. He had listed a mobile home Scaly Mountain, North Carolina, that he never owned as his physical address weeks before casting an absentee by-mail ballot in the state for the 2020 presidential election. Trump won the Southern swing state that year by just over 1 percentage point. …
Public records indicate Meadows registered to vote in Alexandria, Virginia, in 2021, a year after he registered in North Carolina and just weeks before Virginia’s pivotal gubernatorial election in which Gov. Glenn Youngkin became the first Republican to win statewide office in a dozen years.
An outspoken proponent of Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, Meadows also registered to vote in South Carolina in March 2022 after he and his wife purchased a $1.6 million home on Lake Keowee, according to records for the address listed on their South Carolina voter registration forms.
The AP said that North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein’s office declined to comment on the case. Stein, a Democrat, was elected to his second term as North Carolina attorney general in 2020 by a margin of about 13,000 votes.
Raleigh television station WRAL reported that Meadows was registered to vote in the state using an address of a rented mobile home in western North Carolina. WRAL wrote:
But he purportedly never stayed at the property, according to the former owner of the Scaly Mountain property. Documents obtained through a public records request show Meadows asked for absentee ballots in that election to be delivered to an address in the Washington, D.C., area.
State law says voter registration applications must be accurate and that residency refers to “where you physically live.” A voter who purposely provides inaccurate information could be subject to several months of jail time if found guilty.
MSNBC noted that before and after Election Day 2020, Meadows raised his concerns about voting irregularities and fraud.
And MSNBC found this comment by Meadows.
“Do you realize how inaccurate the voter rolls are, with people just moving around?” Meadows asked in August 2020. He later complained in his memoir about some people casting ballots despite not being “an actual resident of the state they were voting in.”
It sure looks like he had first-hand evidence of that.
