Mark Meadows removed from North Carolina voter roll

• The probe followed reports, which revealed that Meadows registered to vote in North Carolina in September 2020 using an address he allegedly never visited.

State of play: Meadows was removed from the North Carolina voter roll "after documentation indicated he lived in Virginia and last voted in the 2021 election there," Patrick Gannon, a spokesperson for the North Carolina State Board of Election, said in a statement.

• "No formal challenge has been received by the Macon County Board of Elections. We are referring questions about the investigation to the State Bureau of Investigation," he added.
• "The last election he voted in Macon County was in 2020," Macon County Board of Elections director Melanie Thibault told the Asheville Citizen-Times, which first reported the news on Wednesday.

The big picture: Under state law, if a North Carolina voter "exercises the right of a citizen by voting in an election" in another state, the person is considered to have lost their North Carolina residence, Gannon noted.

• Meadows represented North Carolina's 11th District from 2013 to 2020, when he resigned to join the Trump White House.
