Mark Meadows, former Trump administration chief of staff who pushed the debunked claims that the 2020 election was stolen, registered to vote in a rusted tin-roofed mobile home where he has apparently has never lived, according to a new report.
If that is true, the ex-North Carolina congressman might have committed voter fraud, according to The New Yorker magazine.
Neighbors of the mobile home in Appalachia listed on Meadows' voter registration said they have never seen the politician there, magazine scribe Charles Bethea reports.
When he quit his elected position to join the Trump administration, Meadows sold his property in Sapphire, North Carolina, and moved to a condo with his wife outside of Washington, D.C.
He didn't buy any new property in the state, but in September 19, 2020, he registered to vote in the 11th Congressional District he once represented at a mobile home on Scaly Mountain, North Carolina. His move-date was listed as September 20.
Duke University public policy professor Gerry Cohen, who wrote the state's voter-challenge law, says that registration is supposed to be for 'where you physically live.'
The former owner of the Scaly Mountain shack, who was not named in the New Yorker piece, says that Debbie Meadows, the former chief of staff's wife, rented the home and is friends with the neighbors, but said 'he did not come. He's never spent a night in there,' referring to Mark.
Mark Meadows didn't comment on his residency, but a Macon County, North Caroline, election official said that it would be up to a challenger of the registration to prove that it is fraudulent.

Yeah, but good thing mark suckerbuck is so honest in elections, right?
The lying media shill used the DNC boilerplate "debunked claims of vote fraud".
“What debunked claims?”
Stop them right there.
I agree.
“Did you know that since 1982, the Republican Party had been legally prohibited from contesting elections due to suspected vote fraud, because of a legal agreement called the Consent Decree the GOP made with the Democrat Party?”
That WAS actually true. But, the Consent Decree was finally not renewed several years ago. 2018 I believe.
I still don’t see how this decree could bind Republican candidates or a state party if they said,’ screw it we’ll fight’!
OMG..CALL THE POLICE, CALL THE FBI, CALL THE CIA, CALL THE GIRL SCOUTS...SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.
PEOPLE MUST PAY.
What a total bunch of crap.
WHO THE HECK CARES??????
People were stupid to keep voting for him. He never was a true Nebraskan. Chuck Hagel either.
What about the (now deceased) Dim Senator who lived in his mistresses condo....and, *rented* the recliner?
I can’t recall his name. He was basically brain dead (yeah, I know, he was a lib) for the last years that he still was in office.....living with this gal, and not his wife.
But....that stuff is a-okay with the leftists.
Lost me at “debunked”. No. Claims of massive fraud having been debunked are themselves debunked.
Read the report that just came out of Wisconsin. The fraud was massive, undeniable and overwhelming. Then there’s Georgia. Then Arizona. Then the fact that allowing mass mail in voting in Pennsylvania has been ruled unconstitutional.
What a sad state we’re in that we allow this and that.
Continually allow the state GOP machine and the RNC to dictate who we vote for and folks not still voting on name recognition and the Devil They Know.
So who registered him there, because he certainly didn’t register there himself!!
I expect that from Democrats. They’re dirty and they don’t even try to hide it.
I would like to expect more from Republicans. I can’t.
I would love to see Republicans fight, push back and play. Y the same set of rules.
But this kind of nonsense, if true, irks me. No different than McCarthy living with Luntz
Even if you do not actually reside at your domicile, it can be your residence for voting, taxes, and many other purposes. This can be so even if you have never actually lived there but only have demonstrated an intention to reside there, usually by owning or even just leasing property or have a familial relationship with someone who resides there.
I am sure that Meadows had the benefit of sound legal advice and will prevail on this issue. And he can point to the example of quite a few members of Congress who live in and own homes in the DC area and who have only a vestigial relationship to their district or state while preserving their claim of domicile there on one basis or another.
Modest correction: Bob Giaimo served until his retirement in 1981. A Republican, Larry DeNardis, won his open seat in 1980, beating out none other than Joe Lieberman.
