IA: Woodbury County supervisor's (R) wife found guilty of 52 counts of voter fraud

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.

After the verdict, Taylor’s attorney, F. Montgomery Brown, said he respected the decision and "now is the time for empathy for a family that is suffering."

During closing arguments, the prosecution added the case was important because voter fraud jeopardizes the foundation of democracy in the United States and damages the public trust in the electoral process. They added that Kim Taylor has worked on campaigns since 2008 and knew the difference between right and wrong.

The radicalized Republican party use their contrived outrage over voter fraud as a smoke screen under which they disenfranchise voters -- a form of election fraud.

Seems the ones who complain the most about voter fraud are the ones doing it.
