Mark Meadows’ wife may have filed 3 false voter forms in 2020: report

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, during the final months of the Trump Administration, was quick to promote the Big Lie: Donald Trump’s false claim that widespread voter fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential election. But Meadows’ wife, Debra Meadows, according to the Washington Post, appears to have filed “three false voter forms” in 2020.

“On October 26, (2020), Mark Meadows’s wife, Debra, appeared at the Macon County community building in Franklin, NC, and filled out a one-stop voter application to cast an early ballot in the 2020 presidential election,” the Post’s Glenn Kessler explains. “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 1 felony."

Kessler notes that on March 6, The New Yorker “first reported that Mark and Debra Meadows submitted voter registration forms that listed as their home a mobile home with a rusted metal roof that sold for $105,000 in 2021, even though they had never lived there.”

According to Kessler, “North Carolina officials announced last week that Mark Meadows is under investigation for potential voter fraud…. The Fact Checker’s reporting shows that in 2020, Debra Meadows signed three forms — a voter registration form, an absentee ballot request for her husband and the one-stop application — that warned of legal consequences if falsely completed and signed. She also cast a ballot in a 2020 primary runoff using an address that was no longer valid for voting. Mark Meadows appears only to have signed a voter registration form; he did not vote in the primary. The statement by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation made no mention of Debra Meadows, and officials declined to say whether the probe would also examine her actions.”
