Mark Meadows, who left Congress to be Trump’s chief of staff, registered to vote at a North Carolina trailer home (photo below).
He and his wife leased the place because he was thinking about running for U.S. Senate in that state. She spent maybe one night there. He never set foot on the property. If you or I did that, Republicans would be beside themselves screaming “voter fraud!!!” and we’d likely be prosecuted. But not him.
Josh Stein, the state attorney general, announced on Friday, December 30, 2022, that Meadows won’t be charged with voter fraud. I know what you’re thinking, but wait a minute, Stein is a Democrat and he said his staff attorneys advised against it because of legal mumbo-jumbo you can read about here.
I thought you had to at least see a place to claim it as a voting residence. You’d think a state where Republicans write the voting laws wouldn’t have a loophole that would let someone get away with this. But apparently there is one for Congress Critters and White House gofers.
Oh well, special privileges for special folks.
