Debra Meadows appears to have filed three false voter forms.

It certainly appears that Mark Meadows knowingly committing voter fraud can be used as a defense when claiming his participation in #FailedCoupGuy's Stop the Steal plot to overthrow the government was based on the fact the people fraudulently vote, after all he and his wife do.

Avoiding responsibility
"Debra Meadows certified that she had resided at a 14-by-62-foot mountaintop mobile home for at least 30 days — even though she did not live there. At the top of the form is a notice that 'fraudulently or falsely completing this form' is a Class 1 felony."

I see a lot of non-lawyers saying "that's a crime, Pamela Moses got prosecuted for a registration error that wasn't even her fault" but they're overlooking two nuanced legal issues here that make prosecution unlikely: Debra Meadows is white and connected.

Gonna go out on a limb and guess that Debra Meadows won't be facing six years in prison for this even though it was fully intentional, and Pamela Moses's mistake was clearly an accident: https://washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/02

1. Lock them both up.

Looks like Team Meadows believe the rule of law does not apply to them.

[lagomorph777]

4. Yes, please.

[Mr. Ected]

5. They will have proven the rule of law doesn't apply to them

If we don't prosecute and punish them.

As is the case with the entire Republican cabal.

Do the crime, do the time.

2. The real crime, it's March 2022, and this happened well before November 2020. Carpet meet Broom!

3. Here is my bolt prediction.

Nothing will happen to the Meadows. They are above such petty things as the electoral laws.

9. I believe you are correct

The key piece to this being the word "knowingly," which is the dodge for those with sufficient white privilege. Whereas, if you're a woman of color, like Crystal Mason, you can try to register to vote, and go to jail for six years despite no showing by the prosecution that Mason had criminal intent to vote illegally. It was enough for the judge and the prosecutor that her provisional ballot was accepted (but never tallied) to prove what a dastardly dastard Mason was.

6. but why?

I still don't know why they did this.

7. To vote in North Carolina, and to be eligible to run for US Senate.

Incumbent Sen. Richard Burr (R) is not seeking re-election, making this an open seat race. In 2020, incumbent Sen. Thom Tillis defeated Cal Cunningham (D) by 1.8 percentage points. In 2016, Burr won re-election by 5.7 percentage points.

The two most recent presidential elections in North Carolina were both decided by less than 4 percentage points.

Qualifications for Senator. Each Senator, at the time of his election, shall be not less than 25 years of age, shall be a qualified voter of the State, and shall have resided in the State as a citizen for two years and in the district for which he is chosen for one year immediately preceding his election.

8. Which Is Dumber

Trying to register to vote in 3 places not expecting to be caught, or thinking your 2 extra votes will make a difference?

[drray23]

10. he did not do that to vote more than once

he did that to satisfy the residency requirement in North carolina so that he could run as senator. You have to have been a resident of NC for the past 2 years before election.

11. That's what I was thinking. What kind of idiot would do that?
