TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A freshman Kansas congressman who had listed a UPS Inc. postal box as his residence on a state voter registration form was charged Tuesday with three felonies, including illegal voting.

The charges against GOP Rep. Steve Watkins came three weeks before the state's Aug. 4 primary election with fellow Republicans pushing to oust him from the eastern Kansas seat he barely won in 2018, even though he's largely toed the conservative policy line and supported President Donald Trump. GOP critics already had worried that the months-long investigation into whether Watkins violated state election laws puts the 2nd District seat in play if he wins the primary.

Watkins called the charges “hyper-political” even though the district attorney who filed them also is a Republican. The congressman said during a televised debate Tuesday evening that he hadn't seen the charges but has done nothing wrong.

“I'll get my name exonerated," he said during his closing statement.

The charges were filed in state district court in Shawnee County, which includes Watkins' hometown, the state capital of Topeka. District Attorney Mike Kagay announced them less than half an hour before the three GOP candidates' only scheduled debate began on three stations.

The UPS postal box was listed as Watkins' residential address for voter registration purposes when he cast a mail-in ballot for a local city council and school board election in November 2019. He later changed his residential listing.

Sunny, I know you were kind of making a tongue in cheek example, but FoxNews did cover it. That's actually how I found out about it.

In terms of what he did "wrong", simple mistake. Who doesn't think their house isn't at a delivery store from time to time. Many a time I woke up inside of a UPS Store. What a fucking idiot. If they can't just remove him outright, there is no way he would win anyways. He won't become a sophomore.

With UPS stores on every corner, it's easy to see how they get confused for houses. We're on the same wavelength SD.
