This is the vast mountain estate where Trumps former Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows was registered to vote in the 2020 election.

This is a single wide trailer in the mountains of Macon County in Western North Carolina.

Voter registration records show Meadows listed the Scaly Mountain home as his address. The Macon County Board of Elections confirmed Meadows and his wife voted absentee that year using that address.

“He registered and his wife registered in an address that they had never lived in, and they signed their names under penalty of perjury,” said Dr. Chris Cooper, Madison Distinguished Professor of Political Science & Public Affairs and Director of the Public Policy Institute at Western Carolina University.



I can't wait to see him make the perp walk into the courthouse... or when pigs fly, which ever comes first.

Man all this voter fraud is crazy! Too bad it''s all from the right.... I mean he should spend more time in jail than the 5 years in jail Crystal Mason got right?

What’s weird about this is that he had no need to claim an address in that county to vote. He has a home elsewhere in NC and he wasn’t running for Congress so why he picked that address is beyond me.

I think the punishment would be (and should be) small but he definitely needs to explain himself to a county judge or whomever administers elections in that district.

My understanding is that he sold his other previous NC residence and then only owned property in SC. So he had to find somewhere else in NC.


And yeah, there's no way that Meadows actually resided there. Zero. Zip. He wouldn't even drive on the road you need to get there.

The problem, outside of this just being completely ignored by certain news outlets, is this will be spun into "see how easy it is to 'voter fraud'" to reinforce the current narrative.

The target audience won't think "holy crap you literally have to own two homes to voter fraud and my ass can't even buy one"

Maybe it has something to do with how much property tax he's paying on the primary residence he's claiming that he lives in.

edit - Penn's post above got in seconds before mine, but I'll leave mine be anyhow.

I downloaded the current voter registration data for Macon County, NC.
They are both still registered in the county at the single wide trailer address.

His wife registered on 9/19/2020, he registered on 9/22/2020.

The mailing address, a PO Box in Skyland, NC, is actually part of Asheville, NC, which is in the 11 Congressional district which he represented before permanently attaching his mouth to Trumps ass. The district now represented by the shitstain Madison Cawthorn.

The below is voter registration data as of 3/5/2022 for Macon County, NC. There are just over 24,000 registered voters in the county.

But just like Cawthorn's 89MPH speeding ticket, it will be reduced to "improper equipment."

Hehe, I had one of those back in my high school days. Got caught doing 84 in a 65 and lawyered up to get it reduced from reckless speeding to improper equipment and zero points on my license. Deputy didn’t even show up in court.

He should be charged. Would be surprised if he does though given how justice is delivered in this country.

While you also had a citation for driving with a revoked driver's license?

I have to say I don't understand why someone with a politically-sensitive career would take a comparatively large individual risk (of completely wrecking that career for good) for what would surely be a very small gain (two extra votes in a particular location) for their collective team.

I'm presuming that the workings of the (crazy) US voting system means that voting there carries more 'weight' than if they'd done so where they were more plausibly resident, but surely the benefit of just two votes can't be that significant, compared to what he has to lose?

Edit - it's actually the same kind of reason as to why it seems implausible an undocumented migrant would try and vote illegally. The highly-diluted benefit just doesn't seem worth the strongly individualised risk.

I’m certain the reason is impunity, he thought nobody would care and if they did, what, are they going to prosecute a former congressman and WH chief of staff?

I hope the answer is ‘yes’, but I’m not sure it is.

The main trick is to get a DUI reduced the reckless driving.

Yes, that subsequently occurred to me as the answer to my own question. It only makes sense if you add that factor - that he implicitly believed there was absolutely no chance there would be any penalty for him. Which seems to carry an implication as to what needs to happen now.
