Kansas Election Leads to Surprising Legal Investigation

Three counts of election perjury.

Each count is a non‑person felony under Kansas law; if convicted on all counts, Ceballos could face more than five years in prison.

Prosecutors allege that Ceballos voted in several elections — including in November 2022, November 2023, and August 2024 — without being eligible to do so because he was not a U.S. citizen at the time.

Documents filed by the Attorney General contend that Ceballos, a lawful permanent resident holding a green card and a citizen of Mexico, was not legally permitted to register to vote or cast ballots in Kansas elections.

During the press conference announcing the charges, AG Kobach emphasized that under Kansas law it is a felony for non‑citizens to vote, and he alleged that the new evidence showed Ceballos had repeatedly violated that law.
