A definite Air BnB five star accomodation. "Rustic" (literally)

[AndyinPA]

Weird.

[Tiredretiredlawyer]

Typical Republican voter fraud.

Typical Republican voter fraud.

It's only voter fraud when Dems get POC to register and vote

Meanwhile, public records show that Meadows registered to vote in Alexandria, Va., almost exactly one year after he registered in Scaly Mountain and only weeks before Virginia’s high-profile governor’s election last fall. Republican Glenn Youngkin won the Democratic-leaning state by just under 2 percentage points.

State investigators asked to probe Meadows' voter registration

The North Carolina attorney general’s office has asked the State Bureau of Investigations to look into former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows’ voter registration in North Carolina, an office spokeswoman confirmed Thursday.

The SBI was asked to “investigate alongside the State Board of Elections,” spokeswoman Nazneen Ahmed said in an email.

“At the conclusion of their investigation, we'll review the findings,” Ahmed said.

Ashley Welch, district attorney for Macon County, asked the Special Prosecution Section at the Attorney General’s Office to review the matter, Ahmed said. Meadows, also a former congressman for western North Carolina, is registered to vote in Macon County, at an address where he doesn’t live.

“What we do know is a number of times as we have mail-in ballots, if there is not a chain of custody that goes from the voter to the ballot box, mischief can happen.”

— Then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, in an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” July 26, 2020

This article has been updated

Three months after this interview, on Oct. 26, Mark Meadows’s wife, Debra, appeared at the Macon County community building in Franklin, N.C., and filled out a one-stop voter application to cast an early ballot in the 2020 presidential election. She also dropped off an absentee ballot that she had requested for her husband, then the White House chief of staff, an election board official said.

On her one-stop application, provided this week by the North Carolina Board of Elections to The Fact Checker, 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 l felony.

But obeying the law is for little people.

[Tiredretiredlawyer]

Meadows is just trying to prove election fraud is real, especially with mail in ballots. He's a PATRIOT!

Mark Meadows, a close adviser to former President Donald Trump, has been removed from North Carolina's voter rolls, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections. Meanwhile, state investigators are conducting a probe into potential allegations of voter fraud related to his voter registration.

The development comes after news reports revealed that Meadows was registered to vote in September 2020 at a mobile home in Scaly Mountain, N.C., where the former owner claims Meadows never stayed.

Meadows, who served as a congressman before becoming Trump's chief of staff, is known for supporting false statements about the 2020 presidential election. On the 2020 campaign trail, he made comments seeking to discredit the mail-in voting process. Records obtained last month by WRAL News show Meadows utilized mail-in voting in 2016 and 2020.

Pat Gannon, a spokesman for the state elections board, said in a statement that Meadows was removed because he voted in Virginia in the 2021 election, thus prompting local elections officials to remove him.

So what else are they going to do? Like prosecute?

[Phoenix520]

I don’t understand what he thought he’d accomplish, if he really did that. One extra vote for the osg? Discredit mail-in voting… after the fact? The only thing discredited here is you. Didn’t work, Mark.

This seems to me to be a teapot tempest. But if Meadows can get in trouble, I’m all for it.

[Azastan]

Discredit mail-in voting… after the fact? The only thing discredited here is you. Didn’t work, Mark.

Yes it did work, in the minds of the trumpers. Meadows was able to vote, and have his vote apparently count, by using a mail-in ballot. That's what he wanted to prove, and that's what he did.

[AndyinPA]

The thing is that one vote didn't matter. Neither do 99.9999999 percent of the other fraudulent votes. Fraudulent voting as a major issue doesn't exist. As far as I know, there were five fraudulent votes found in the 2020 election in PA. All were by republicans; none of them changed anything. Biden won.

What does any one voter get out of voting illegally? Who's paying them? (I know; Soros.) On the whole, there's just nothing in it for anyone to vote illegally.

[Azastan]

You are missing the point, but whatever.

Trumpers have been told for years now that it is easy to fraudulently vote. In their minds, Mark Meadows has proven that it is indeed easy to fraudulently vote. Because he DID fraudulently vote. It doesn't matter that it was just one vote and that it didn't change the outcome. The point is that he DID fraudulently vote, just as they've been told that Democrats have fraudulently voted.

You are thinking like a logical person. You need to think like a Fox-washed government-hating racist trumper.

I keep falling into that trap as well. I'm trying to get better, uh, worse, uh. stupidlier.

[Sam the Centipede]

Added to that is the RW tendency to project: they assume others are as unprincipled and stupid as they are.

[Tiredretiredlawyer]

Another entry into the Fogbow Lexicon: stupidlier. A very special Fogbow thank you to N10.

[bill_g]

Soooo ... Meadows knew about voter fraud because he did it. Brilliant.

Next up, Meadows proves bank robbery exists, and then terrorism. Learn us Mark.

[Slim Cognito]

Whenever I see this thread trending, my only thought is..."Because he can."

[Dr. Ken]

Looks like 3 states: North Carolina, Virginia and South Carolina
