'Voter fraud' allegations against Mark Meadows referred to North Carolina AG for review
After the 2020 presidential election, then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows made a concerted effort to help then-President Donald Trump overturn the election results. Meadows promoted Trump’s false and repeatedly debunked claim that the election was stolen from him through widespread voter fraud — a claim that has come to be known as the Big Lie.
But ironically, voter fraud allegations against Meadows are being investigated in North Carolina, where the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (NCSBI) is asking the North Carolina Attorney General’s office to review its evidence.
ABC 11 Raleigh-Durham (the ABC television affiliate in that area) reports, “The SBI said prosecutors with the AG's Office will determine whether criminal charges are appropriate, as the charges are not decided by the SBI.”

ABC 11 notes that Meadows is “accused of registering to vote in Macon County, (North Carolina) when documents showed he actually lived in Virginia.”
In an official statement, the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office told ABC 11, “Our office has received the NCSBI file. Because this is an ongoing matter, we are unable to comment further.”
ABC 11 explains, “The request to investigate was originated by Macon County's District Attorney Ashley Welch after an article in The New Yorker magazine. Public records obtained by The New Yorker show that he is registered to vote in two states, including North Carolina, where he listed a mobile home he did not own — and may never have visited — as his legal residence weeks before casting a ballot in the 2020 presidential election.”
Meadows, according to ABC 11, “listed a mobile home in Scaly Mountain, North Carolina, as his physical address on September 19, 2020, while he was serving as Trump's chief of staff in Washington. Meadows later cast an absentee ballot for the general election by mail. Trump won the battleground state by just over 1 percentage point.”
