North Carolina state officials are investigating the voter registration of Mark Meadows, former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, who is suspected of committing voter fraud.
Meadows and his wife, both of whom now live in Virginia, listed a mobile home in Scaly Mountain when they registered to vote in the 2020 election in the Tar Heel State. The couple did not reside there, however. State Attorney General Josh Stein asked the State Bureau of Investigation on Thursday to look into the voter registration of Meadows, a former North Carolina congressman, “alongside the State Board of Elections,” spokeswoman Nazneen Ahmed told WRAL.
“At the conclusion of their investigation, we’ll review the findings,” Ahmed told the news outlet.

On Monday, Macon County District Attorney Ashley Welch asked the Special Prosecution Section at the attorney general’s office to look into the matter. Welch, who said Meadows had contributed to her 2014 election campaign, asked the attorney general’s office to “handle both the advisement of law enforcement agencies as to any criminal investigations as well as any potential prosecution of Mark Meadows.”
Potential problems with Meadows’s voter registration in the 2020 election were reported by the New Yorker on March 6. The person who owned the mobile home in 2020 said Meadows “never spent a night down there” and that Meadows’s wife had only spent one or two nights in the home. Melanie Thibault, the director of the Macon County Board of Elections, said Meadows voted absentee by mail.
A representative for Meadows has not commented on the investigation, according to multiple reports Thursday evening.
