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.

They're feverishly googling "democrat voter fraud" but nothing solid is coming up so they're just going to ghost this comment and pretend it never happened.

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/
