It looks like Trump’s chief of staff committed voting fraud

Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff, voted by absentee ballot in the 2020 election. This is where he was registered to vote.

He and his wife have never owned it. She rented it — apparently several years earlier — but the owner at the time says she stayed only one or two nights and he ‘never spent a night in there.”

When Meadows registered to vote in September 2020, and used this trailer as his voter registration address, he and his wife were between houses. They’d sold this place, and hadn’t yet bought this place, which is where they live now. (They may be trailer trash, but they’re not poor.)

A North Carolina county election official confirmed they registered to vote there, and cast absentee ballots based on that registration, but used a P.O. box as their mailing address. Trump and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) narrowly won that state in the 2020 election.

Investigation of questionable voter registrations is pretty lax in that state. If Meadows intended to live there, he possibly could claim it has his domicile. But the property was for sale and he didn’t buy it (a Lowe’s manager bought it), so he’d be hard pressed to convince anyone it was his home; and if he never stayed overnight that his voter registration likely was invalid.

At this point, he’s not under investigation for voting fraud, only the subject of an exposé by New Yorker magazine. Read it here.

Update (3/18/22): State authorities are investigating whether Meadows committed a crime (read story here). 2nd Update (12/13/22): Investigators finished work and the state attorney general will now decide whether to file charges (read story here).
