TOPEKA – (Nov. 5, 2025) – Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach today announced his office filed election fraud charges against Jose Ceballos, the mayor of Coldwater, Kansas. Ceballos last night was re-elected.
“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.
Officials from the attorney general’s office filed the charges in Comanche County. Ceballos faces three counts of voting without being qualified and three counts of election perjury. The charges are nonperson felonies, and Ceballos could face more than 5 years in prison.
“I’ve worked with Attorney General Kobach for years on proof of citizenship as a useful tool to root out election crimes. During my time as House Elections Chair, then Secretary Kobach and I fought to pass a proof of citizenship requirement. Instead, we’re left relying on individuals’ word when it comes to verifying citizenship,” Schwab said. “I’m grateful that President Trump implemented the SAVE program to help states and to prevent situations like this.”
When he was Secretary of State, Kobach led the charge to stop noncitizens from voting illegally in Kansas elections. A federal court struck down the Kansas proof-of-citizenship law in 2018. Eight states, including Kansas, have passed laws requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote in at least some cases, but the laws have only been implemented in four of those states, including Arizona, New Hampshire, Ohio and Wyoming.
“Voting by noncitizens, including both legal and illegal aliens, is a very real problem. It happens. Every time a noncitizen votes, it effectively cancels out a U.S. citizen’s vote.” Kobach said.
State law generally requires that candidates for elected city office must be a qualified elector, or eligible to vote, and be a resident of the city. However, cities have home rule power. It will be up to the city attorney to decide whether Ceballos is eligible to continue in his role as mayor.
Special Agent Nate Humble and Special Agent in Charge Matt Simpson are investigating the Ceballos case. First Assistant Attorney General Stacy Edwards is prosecuting.
Ceballos is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

I assume there are meat packing plants in that county.
Every one of these cases successfully prosecuted, no matter how small, lays the groundwork for further prosecutions.
Yes, that is the way I read it too.
If any fed candidates were on the ticket, he should be open to federal charges as well.
Throw him in prison for 5 years and then deportation, along with any anchor babies that he produced. /spit
Coldwater has 687 people per wikipedia.
So tell me. Why this instance? A ‘mayor’ is a big fish in the pond but this is a bathtub. Small town-everyone knows everyone. It’s gotta be strategic as anyone in a big city would not get noticed.
Coldwater Township voted 80% for Trump in 2024.
But they loves their Mexican Mayor too.
POPULATION===693 PERSONS
The guy’s a republican. Gonna have to take one for the team I guess. 55 years old and ‘became’ a republican in 2020. Voted for Trump 3 times. I Dunn. We tend to follow the rules more than leftists.
We need to face the reality that the #1 problem is that Federally mandated Motor Voter laws are designed and implemented with a defect that allows immigrants (mostly legal immigrants) automatically be registered to vote when they get a drivers license.
Most often, it is not the non-citizen who votes, it is the vote harvester who votes just as the vote harvester votes on behalf of the dead, and movers, and empty apartments and empty lots.
We need to face the reality that in the SYSTEM the FEC and HAVA are the #1 source of the problem .
