Mark Meadows, Trump’s Chief of Staff, finds voter fraud

…in the mirror.

… Meadows listed a mobile home in Scaly Mountain, North Carolina, as his physical address in September 2020, while he was serving as Trump's chief of staff in Washington. Meadows later cast an absentee ballot [in North Carolina] for the general election by mail. CBS News independently confirmed the voting record, which is publicly available. Trump won the battleground state by just over 1 percentage point.

Meadows’ “permanent legal residence”:



Don’t feel too bad for Meadows. He doesn’t actually own this tin shack, and apparently has never lived there.

…the former owner of the Scaly Mountain property, described as a 14-foot by 62-foot mobile home with a rusty metal roof, who indicated that Meadows does not own the home and never has. The previous owner said Meadows' wife rented the property "for two months at some point within the past few years" but only spent one or two nights there. Neighbors said Meadows was never present.

When Virginia had its gubernatorial election last fall, he switched his voter registration back to that state weeks before the election, where the Republican candidate won by a whisker. Well, that’s convenient. He sure moves around a lot.

Meadows frequently raised the prospect of voter fraud before the 2020 presidential election… and in the months following Trump's loss to suggest Biden was not the legitimate winner. He repeated baseless claims that the election was stolen in his 2021 memoir.

The thing is, Republicans aren’t against voter fraud per se. They just want to be the exclusive practitioners of it.
