Non-Citizen Not Only Charged With Illegally Voting in Kansas, He Was the Mayor of a City: Report

That thing that “never happens” just happened again, folks. Except in this case, it appears to have gone one step beyond simple election fraud—allegedly. It involved an actual elected official. Holding office. In an American city. Illegally.

How does that happen, exactly?

The charges were filed on the same day that Ceballos won re-election as the mayor of Coldwater, Kansas.

He was the mayor of a city!

He is also accused of making false statements on the dates that he allegedly cast the illegal votes.

Kobach explained, according to KSNW in Wichita, that Ceballos “is not a United States citizen, he is a legal permanent resident of the United States and a citizen of Mexico.”

“In Kansas, it is against the law to vote if you are not a U.S. citizen. We allege that Mr. Ceballos did it multiple times,” Kobach said in a press release.

The charges are considered non-person felonies—meaning a crime with no specific victim—but Ceballos could still face more than 5 years in prison, according to the Attorney General’s office.

Schwab was referring to Executive Order 14248, signed by President Trump in March, which expanded free access to the SAVE program for states to verify immigration and citizenship status in contexts like voter registration.

“We now have tools, thanks to the current White House, that we haven’t had in over 10 years,” he explained to KWCH in Coldwater, “that we can check through the SAVE program, to find out if folks end up on our voter rolls.”

“And they could be a legal resident, but they’re not a citizen. We want to make sure that gets clarified.”

Kobach, meanwhile, explained that voter fraud to any degree is detrimental to the American people.
