"Classic GOP hypocrisy": Mark Meadows' wife may have committed voter fraud too

Source: salon



Debbie Meadows, whose PAC backs Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, reportedly filed three false voter forms


By Igor Derysh Published March 23, 2022 12:38PM (EDT)



Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is already under investigation for possible voter fraud, and now it appears that his wife Debbie also filed three false voter forms in the 2020 election, according to the Washington Post.

North Carolina officials are currently investigating Mark Meadows on potential fraud charges. The New Yorker reported that Donald Trump's former top aide was registered to vote at a mobile home in a remote rural area where he never appears to have lived or even visited, at the same time he was spreading and supporting Trump's false claims about widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election

The North Carolina attorney general's office said that the State Bureau of Investigation and the State Board of Elections are investigating the matter after Macon County District Attorney Ashley Welch, a former Meadows ally, referred the case to the state for "potential prosecution."

The attorney general's statement did not mention Debbie Meadows, who appears to have used the address of the Scaly Mountain home on three different voter forms. She listed that as her home address on a one-stop voter application to cast an early ballot in the 2020 presidential election in Franklin, North Carolina, according to documents provided by the North Carolina Board of Elections to the Washington Post. The form requires voters to certify that they have lived at their address for at least 30 days and warns that "fraudulently or falsely completing this form" is a Class 1 felony...................

3. An old trailer up on Scaly Mountain.

I know the area. What I don't understand is why? Why even bother? Makes not sense.

What also doesn't make sense is they sold their house in Sapphire NC for only 375K? Condo or townhouse maybe, but I'd think Mr. Developer would own something more substantial. In that area, $375K seems way on the low end. Substantial lots in that area go for more than that. A lot about this story just doesn't add up.

You are right. nothing makes sense of this issue.

From the article...........

..........Melanie Thibault, the director of Macon County's Board of Elections, told the New Yorker she had been "dumbfounded" to learn what address the Meadowses used after selling their North Carolina home when Meadows was tapped to serve in the White House.

"I looked up this Mcconnell Road, which is in Scaly Mountain, and I found out that it was a dive trailer in the middle of nowhere, which I do not see him or his wife staying in," she said.


North Carolina law requires voters to have lived in a county where they register for at least 30 days before the election. Both of the Meadowses' voter registration forms were filed on Sept. 19, 2020, but listed their move-in date as the following day, Sept. 20. (That in itself would be a violation, although one unlikely to be pursued or prosecuted.) The Meadowses also listed a post office box in a town about 70 miles away from the mobile home as their mailing address, according to the Post..............

Meadows was going to run for the US Senate this year, but his involvement in the failed coup cripples his trajectory.

A grungy trailer up on Scaly was a timebomb waiting to go off no matter what his future plans were.
