Well we know a state is investigating Mark Meadows.

Meadows, who helped spread former President Donald Trump's repeatedly debunked voter fraud claims, may have committed voter fraud himself in the 2020 election, The New Yorker reported earlier this month. Trump's former top aide and his wife, Debbie, registered to vote in what has been called a "dive trailer" in a remote rural area. Meadows does not appear to have spent a single night there, according to the report. Local news outlet WRAL later reported that Meadows and his wife had voted via absentee ballots in North Carolina in 2020, sparking a state investigation.

State Attorney General Josh Stein's office asked the State Bureau of Investigation to "investigate alongside the State Board of Elections," spokesperson Nazneen Ahmed told WRAL on Thursday. "At the conclusion of their investigation, we'll review their findings."

The penalty for improperly filling out a voter application is up to a year in prison.

Anyone expect something will come of this? I'm not holding my breath.

Day 96 since the select committee sent the Meadow's criminal referral to DOJ.

- love that turn of phrase! And you are correct - any of us would already be in jail for contempt of Congress, voter fraud, and seditious conspiracy, if we did all the things he did.

2. 'Will anything come of this?" Doubt it unless he voted in two places. But enjoying him sweating.

is the crime not voting twice. When Meadows listed a dive trailer as his place of residence he broke the law. The question is whether Meadows is above the law or not?

The other will be if he can prove other congress persons vote at home and of DC. If he voted in both, game over. He’s done.

college kids don't lie of the voter form. Meadows lied on his voter form, that is breaking the law.

If I remember right, she used someone else's address to register so her address would not be public. It was in a different district than where her house was, so that should have violated the law.

While I'm glad we don't see or hear from her anymore, she's still free. Neither she nor Willard Rmoney ever faced the consequences they deserved.
