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.

      Holy hell, I used it for a database. How can a factual database have a bias. You really are something else

        I was once stubbornly a BoTh SiDeS-er too. I was between 17-22 then. When I actually learned enough to see the reliable fact patterns, I wised up. I hope you do as well. Because you’re looking about like a Republican shill at the moment.

          I still don’t understand how pointing to a database, and agreeing with the sentiments put forth about how voter fraud is not a real issue, is a republican shill? If I was stating the there was an issue that’s another thing. It’s funny I’ve noticed the fact patterns too, and I’ve realized that both sides always show biases and you have to look through all that. If you believe only one side is telling the truth, you are very delusional. Both sides report as if the other is lying, you can’t tell me that one side is always right, if so I don’t believe you are much older then 22. Very nieve.

            The source of information matters and I think you know that… There’s nothing to argue about here

              How does that make sense? So if two sites reported on the same football scores, one matters more perhaps because of who may own the site?! Are you serious? Reporting of stories will always vary based on news source, that’s a given. No news source is unbiased. But when you are reporting just the facts obtained from criminal records, source doesn’t matter because the source is the criminal records. Good grief you’re dense. Next time you read a major news article check it out on allsides.com see how the right left and center are reporting on it. Maybe you’ll be able to understand the nuance. Now you won’t do that because you don’t want objective truth, you want your teams spin and that is it. That’s the beauty of not having a team, no blinders.

                Give it a fucking rest. You aren’t open minded or superior. You’re gullible and inexperienced
