Prosecutors say Kim Phuong Taylor wanted her husband to win elections in 2020 “by any means necessary.”

Prosecutors say Kim Phuong Taylor wanted her husband to win elections in 2020 “by any means necessary.”

A jury spent about five hours deliberating before convicting Kim Phuong Taylor on 52 counts of voter fraud in federal court Tuesday in Sioux City. Taylor faces up to five years in prison on each count. A sentencing date hasn’t been set.

Prosecutors say Taylor took advantage of other Vietnamese immigrants by illegally filling out election forms and ballots. Her husband, Jeremy Taylor, lost a GOP primary for the U.S. House and won election to the Woodbury County Board of Supervisors in 2020.

Two Iowa State students, Tam and Thien Doan, took the stand and said that when they tried to file absentee ballots in Ames, they discovered someone had already cast a ballot in their names. They are Democrats, but their votes supported all Republican candidates, including former President Donald Trump. They were able to get new ballots in time for the general election.

    Republican - This need to be the first word in first sentence of the title and every paragraph thereafter

      I think it can just be assumed at this point.

            One that site looks sketchy as fuck. Two, even if it’s right, convictions are not a magic view into everything that actually has happened. Three, that site is sketchy af

            Edit: I just did some research myself and it looks like any respectable organization doesn’t keep data about party affiliation in these cases. So I have to conclude your source is biased toward Republicans. I don’t remember the last time I heard about a Democrat committing voter fraud, but I can easily recall many cases of Republicans doing it. And when I say many, I mean on a scale of memorability. This shit isn’t happening often enough really to talk about and it’s only notable because the people convinced it’s an epidemic are the same ones actually committing the crime. Because like every other gop accusation, it’s actually a confession

              You don’t hear about it because it’s not discussed as much. The internet is very left as a whole and they don’t mention things that don’t fit a narrative. Like your response. It sounds like that site took the information from here https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud. Party affiliation is public knowledge. Examples are not hard to find https://www.mycentraljersey.com/story/news/crime/2023/05/03/nj-election-fraud-democrat-governor/70174889007/

                So… You’re aware that the heritage foundation is one of the most right wing lobby groups in history and somehow you still think this point stands?

                The Internet is made up of people. “Leftist” ideas are actually really popular, it takes effort to try to unlearn the basic morality we are taught by every major religion and belief system and how it’s supposedly totally different than how government is supposed to work

                  This is one of the biggest problems we have on the internet. We only belive sources that align with our echo chamber. Why can’t a conservative source be legit? You only believe things that are on left leaning sites then? That’s pretty sad, you’re missing a lot of nuance then. I’m a straight up centrist so maybe it’s just easier for me to be unbiased and see where biases are. Sure leftist ideologies are gaining more ground, I’m not saying the right is the answer but it needs to lie somewhere in the middle.

                    If you believe a single thing that the heritage foundation says, we got nothing to talk about

                    I will say it’s fucking hilarious that you think you’re unbiased, given that you just admitted to believing conservative billionaire propaganda

              Here’s an example, my reply and our conversation is hidden in the comment section. Can’t have any dissent from the narrative
