Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’s voter registration has been removed from the rolls in Macon County.
According to a release from the North Carolina State Board of Elections, Meadows’s registration was removed after the NCSBE determined he’d registered to vote in another state.
“The Macon County Board of Elections administratively removed the voter registration of Mark Meadows under NCGS § 163-57(6) and (8) on April 11, after documentation indicated he lived in Virginia and last voted in the 2021 election there,” the NCSBE release stated.
The statutes referenced in the release state any person who “goes into another state, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district, or into the District of Columbia, and while there exercises the right of a citizen by voting in an election” will lose residency in the election district from which they moved.
According to public voter registration records, Meadows last cast a vote in Macon County during the November 2020 general election while still registered at the Scaly Mountain address.
Meadows’s wife, Debbie Meadows, remains registered at the Scaly Mountain address. She last voted in Macon County during the November 2020 general election as well.
The removal of Mark Meadows’s registration comes as he faces allegations of voter fraud following a March 6 report first published in the New Yorker claiming the couple registered to vote at the Scaly Mountain residence despite having never lived there.
In late March, the North Carolina Attorney General’s office directed the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations to conduct an investigation into the matter. As of press time, North Carolina SBI Public Information Director Angie Grube said the investigation is ongoing and there is nothing further to report at this time.
