Florida woman arrested for alleged voter fraud in Kansas linked to 'No Labels' party

TOPEKA (KSNT) – A Florida woman is under arrest in connection with an alleged voter fraud case in Kansas linked to a new political party.

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced in a press release that a 47-year-old woman from Dade City, Florida, was arrested by Nebraska law enforcement on May 29. His arrest is linked to the alleged forgery of signatures to help the political party. No Labels” is officially registered in the State of Kansas.

“As attorney general, I am committed to prosecuting election fraud to the fullest extent of the law,” Kobach said. “It doesn’t matter how far you travel. We will take you back to Kansas and prosecute you. The people of Kansas deserve the most secure elections possible.

The arrest followed an extensive investigation by the Kansas Attorney General's Office, with assistance from law enforcement agencies in Nebraska and Kansas. The Secretary of State (SOS) initially referred possible evidence of election fraud to these law enforcement agencies for investigation.

The woman is charged with multiple counts of voter fraud in Johnson County District Court. This includes one count of election perjury and 18 counts of election tampering. She is currently being held in Nebraska before being sent to Johnson County.

“As I have always said, my office is committed to pursuing any evidence of election crime. Kansas has strong laws to ensure the integrity of our elections, and this case demonstrates that the process works,” said Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab.

No Labels became an officially recognized political party in Kansas in January 2024. Another man from Dade City, Florida, was arrested in February 2024 for alleged voter fraud. 27 News previously asked the SOS office if this previous case would impact the party's status in Kansas.
