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.

    the anecdote doesn’t show how it’s an inherent problem. you need to demonstrate that in some other way. you don’t have to be silent you just have to not suck at arguing

      No, one anecdote doesn’t. But, as I just said, this is hardly an isolated incident. Several election fraud cases have made news in the last few years and all of them have been Republicans. Maybe you just suck at reading comprehension. Maybe you just don’t pay attention to the news. Maybe you’re the kind that thinks if they just totally ignore the points that other people make and repeat themselves louder until the other side shuts up that they’ve somehow “won” the argument.
