Authorities in North Carolina have launched an investigation into possible voter fraud by Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows over allegations that he registered to vote at an address where he does not live.
Nazneen Ahmed, a spokeswoman for Josh Stein, the state attorney general, confirmed to The New York Times that the North Carolina Department of Justice has asked the State Bureau of Investigation to look into whether or not Meadows broke the law when he registered to vote, and voted from, the address where he allegedly did not“We have asked the S.B.I. to investigate and at the conclusion of the investigation, we’ll review their findings,” Ahmed said.
The investigation was sparked by a March 6 report by The New Yorker which stated that Meadows registered to vote at an address—a mobile home in Scaly Mountain, N.C., for the 2020 election—where he has never lived.
Meadows also does not own the property, according to The New Yorker, who cited the former owner of the property, who was not named.
“On a line that asked for his residential address—”where you physically live,” the form instructs—Meadows wrote down the address of a fourteen-by-sixty-two-foot mobile home in Scaly Mountain. He listed his move-in date for this address as the following day, September 20th,” the news outlet stated.
Meadows did not respond to The New Yorker’s request for comment
