Authorities in the Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office, which supervises Topeka, showed they're actively reviewing a fee from state Rep. Vic Miller, a Democrat, who wrote a letter that required to display 10 people who used a UPS store as their home address and two people who listed companies as their place of home, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal.
The note, which was written to District Attorney Mike Kagay, was sent on Dec. 9, weeks after President Joe Biden was called the victor following the highly questioned Nov. 3 election. Miller asked Kagay for a response within 90 days, though he said he has not heard back from the top prosecutor.

Kagay said his office doesn't check into alleged examples of voter misconduct but did admit speaking to the sheriff's office about it, the report said.
“I have never engaged in private communications with an individual while they were the subject of a criminal investigation, or were a defendant in a criminal case,” Kagay said. “It would be inappropriate to do so.”

“I’m comforted by knowing [an investigation] is happening,” Miller said on Friday. “I would have liked to hear back from him to tell me that he had referred it to investigation. That would have been polite.”
Shawnee County Election Commissioner Andrew Howell, who doesn't remember being reached by Miller, is trying to “clean up the list” of what seem to be false home addresses. The voting authority said a faulty residence isn't on its own a cause for criminal charges.

“There are situations that do occur where people are allowed to use unusual addresses,” he said. “It doesn’t on its face alone prove anything.”
Last week, former GOP Rep. Steve Watkins pulled out a deal with prosecutors not to hold trial after the Republican was indicted for supposedly voting in the wrong Topeka City Council race with a home address that came back to a UPS store. Authorities also claim Watkins lied to a reporter that was reviewing the incident. The changed agreement sets up the charges to be dropped should certain conditions be met.

Watkins, who lost his reelection effort in August, maintained the allegations were politically motivated and without an object. "This is clearly hyper political,” he said in July. “I haven’t done anything wrong.”
It is unclear whether or not Watkins's alleged offenses are connected to Miller's letter, though both happened in the same county.
