Mark Meadows facing scrutiny about voter registration status

Mark Meadows, who as chief of staff to President Donald Trump supported inaccurate claims of mass voter fraud, is facing increasing scrutiny about his own voter registration status. Public records show that he is registered to vote in two states, including North Carolina, where he listed a mobile home he did not own as his legal residence weeks before casting a ballot in the 2020 presidential election. The other state is Virginia.

Critics contend that Meadows' voter registration status, first reported by The New Yorker, suggest the former North Carolina congressman may have committed voter fraud himself. A spokesperson for Meadows did not respond to a message seeking comment on Wednesday.

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 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.
