Mark Meadows, a former North Carolina congressman and chief of staff to former President Donald Trump, has been removed from the state’s voter rolls by elections officials, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections, amid allegations he was fraudulently registered to vote there while living in Virginia.
Meadows was reportedly registered to vote in September 2020 at a mobile home in Scaly Mountain, but his landlord said he never stayed there.
Patrick Gannon, public information director for the state elections board, said in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner that the Macon County Board of Elections “administratively removed” Meadows from its voter registration under state law on April 11 “after documentation indicated he lived in Virginia and last voted in the 2021 election there.”

The former owner of the rental home told WRAL Monday that Meadows “never spent a night down there” and that his wife, who is also registered to vote at the address, only stayed briefly.
Meadows, who backed Trump’s unfounded claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him through fraud, was also critical of mail-in voting. But WRAL reported he requested absentee ballots in 2016 and 2020 to addresses in the Washington, D.C., area. He reportedly requested his 2020 absentee ballot be sent to an Alexandria, Virginia, address less than two weeks after registering the Scaly Mountain address as his residence.
