I keep hearing from Republicans about the huge problem of voter fraud. Maybe if they would stop doing it there wouldn’t be such a problem.
Rep. Steve Watkins was charged with three felony counts in Shawnee County, Kan., late Tuesday, nearly eight months after a newspaper investigation found that he listed the location of a UPS Store as his address for voting purposes on government forms.
Watkins, a freshman Republican from Topeka, faces two felony charges related to unlawful voting and one related to interference with law enforcement and providing false information, according to a news release from Shawnee County District Attorney Michael F. Kagay. The charges stem from a 2019 local election, the release stated.
The case emerged after an investigation of a Topeka Capital-Journal report from December, which stated that Watkins may have committed felony voter fraud by allegedly misstating his address on a voter change-of-residency form, an application for a mail ballot and another official document. A fourth charge, described as an “unclassified misdemeanor,” claimed Watkins failed to notify the Department of Motor Vehicles of a change of address.
