WASHINGTON (TNND) — A mayor of a small town in Kansas was charged earlier this week for allegedly voting in multiple elections, despite not being a U.S. citizen.

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach and Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab filed six charges against Mayor Joe Ceballos in Comanche County.

Ceballos is the mayor of Coldwater and is described as a lawful permanent resident from Mexico who allegedly voted in the 2022, 2023 and 2024 elections, according to Fox News.

Prior to being mayor of Coldwater, he used to be a city councilman.

Was that wrong? Should he not have done that? 🤡

This is a fake story. Everyone knows that illegal aliens can’t possibly vote in American elections. It’s never happened. Ever.

Besides there’s no such thing as an illegal alien. They’re just “pre-citizens”.

[popdonnelly]

Oh, c’mon! That never happens!

This is how you boil an egg in Coldwater.

If they aren’t even a citizen how the F can they become mayor?

Apparently that must not be a requirement.

It actually is required for the elected officials to be citizens. It was mentioned in a story I read yesterday.
