Investigators give evidence to North Carolina AG in alleged voter fraud case against Mark Meadows

CHARLOTTE — The North Carolina Attorney General’s Office is reviewing evidence and could soon make a decision whether or not to charge former President Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, for allegations of voter fraud.

According to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, the case file “concerning Mark Meadows and allegations of voter fraud” was submitted to the AG’s Office. SBI says the final case file documentation was given to the AG’s office in early November, and prosecutors “will determine if criminal charges are appropriate.”

The Associated Press reported earlier this year when state investigators started looking into Meadows’ voter registration in the 2020 election. According to public records, Meadows is registered to vote in two states, including North Carolina.

Meadows had listed a mobile home in Scaly Mountain as his legal residence weeks before casting a ballot in the 2020 presidential election. The New Yorker spoke with the owner of that property who said Meadows’ wife rented the property for a few months but only spent one or two nights there. Neighbors told The New Yorker that Meadows was never present at the home.

Meadows cast an absentee ballot by mail for the election.

Channel 9 reached out to the AG’s office for information, but a spokesperson said the office won’t comment on the pending case.
