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.

Wow more conservatives committing voter fraud, shocking. The projection with these fuckers is astounding.
As the saying goes, every GOP accusation is really a confession.
No party listed in headline: guaranteed Republican.
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.

last time I asked this someone replied with a guy who was a registered democrat (ie not a politician) who cheated himself into being the captain of the local soccer team.
Here are all the convictions between 2016 and 2020. Note that the breakdown between Republicans and Democrats are very close to the same with Republicans have a slight edge on convictions. https://the2020election.org/voter-fraud-convictions-since-2016/
This is a disingenuous comment.

Actually about 38:41 ratio. https://the2020election.org/voter-fraud-convictions-since-2016/
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.
Here’s an example, my reply and our conversation is hidden in the comment section. Can’t have any dissent from the narrative
Just yesterday my parents were complaining about “cheating” on Election Day by Democrats. I’m half tempted to send them this.
Do it. Thanksgiving dinner ain’t gonna entertain itself.
Do it. Ask not what thanksgiving drama can do for you but what you can do to cause thanksgiving drama
don’t do it. anecdotal one off cases are not meaningful. discussions about them are really annoying. they don’t go anywhere
It’s absolutely not an isolated case. It’s enough of a trend that I’d argue it’s no longer simply anecdotal anymore either. Political discussions with family are almost always unproductive and annoying, but I don’t see how silence benefits anyone by the fascists.
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.
haha. yea good luck.
Republicans haven’t given up claiming voter fraud is rampant, and they should know. They’re the ones perpetrating it.
That’s why they keep trying to claim the 2020 election was stolen: they just can’t fathom how they could cheat so hard and still manage to lose.
I’d argue 5 for each is fine. Regardless of wether she can live long enough to serve them.
Keep the body chained to the wall for the entire 260 years and throw every republican sentenced to do time into the cell with her corpse. Really drive home how bad they fucked up.

Oh my god, that would have pissed me off so much.
And if it was me, (presumably, based on the names) an Asian-American in Iowa, if I was being denied my right to vote and it turned out my ballot went to a Republican, I would have assumed it was because I was Asian that they did it, what with Republicans and racism and deep red Iowa. But apparently not.
Should be an act of treason
