LIBERTY, Mo. — A detective who investigated Rep. Steve Watkins wrote in an affidavit that the Kansas congressman told her he didn't vote in a 2019 Topeka City Council election, despite evidence showing he had cast a ballot in the race after listing a UPS store as his home address.
Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay has charged Watkins with three felonies and one misdemeanor alleging he illegally voted in the 2019 election and lied to detectives investigating the allegations. Shawnee County Sheriff's Detective Stephanie Dicken said in the affidavit that during a Feb. 10 interview, Watkins at one point said he may have voted in the wrong City Council election but then later said"he actually didn’t vote for city council.”
"Therefore, Mr. Watkins’ statement to me that he did not vote in the City Council District 8 election is presumed to be false,” Dicken wrote.
