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.

    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.

      If you believe a single thing that the heritage foundation says, we got nothing to talk about

      I will say it’s fucking hilarious that you think you’re unbiased, given that you just admitted to believing conservative billionaire propaganda

        Gathering a database of voter fraud is propaganda?!? Wow we are fucked as a society. Look at the database, I just picked one individual, googled the name, and bam. Here’s the local report. https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2023/01/30/4th-resident-of-the-villages-admits-to-voting-twice-in-the-2020-election/

        Just because you don’t agree with a source, doesn’t make it wrong.

        It doesn’t matter the source, verifiable facts are still facts

          don’t agree with a source

          See the pesky thing about facts is that they aren’t dependent on “agreement”.

          The source of information being awful matters. Your type loves to think you’re open minded and no one else is. I have been through decades of giving anyone related to Republicans a chance. I gave them way too many actually. Spreading lies on the Internet is actually a terrible thing to do. It doesn’t make you superior which is what you seem to think it does. Your sources are basically Fox News. 🤢

            Exactly, the souce itself does not make facts, not facts. Well I’m not a republican. I’m sorry that you are unable to objectively look at things.

            So since I posted a link to a site that you don’t like, that has verifiable facts, that’s me spreading lies on the internet? I do not believe I’m superior at all, I was mainly stating that voter fraud, when it rarely happens in the scheme of things, happens on both sides of the isle. That’s it.

              Dude, you’re obviously a Republican. The heritage foundation is well known as a right wing think tank. You are spreading lies, and I expect it’s intentional

              If you were interested in the truth, you’d be most concerned with the vErIfIeD FaCtS meaning you’d be focused on the fact that voter fraud barely exists, instead of pretending it’s not usually republicans doing it and “coincidentally” the only ones who care about it.

                I searched Google for voter fraud database and that’s what came up, simple as that. I looked through the database, searched a couple of the names, the local reports from local news outlets came up. Thus verifiable… Yes voter fraud barely exists, there were what, 1400 cases from 2016 - 2020 in that database. That’s miniscule. I was only stating that in the rare cases it does happen, it happens on both sides. I didn’t say it’s not usually Republicans either, I believe someone stated 50:1 in that thread. I merely stated that it was closer to 43:37 in reality. So the 50:1 comment is trying to pass off lies but you don’t care about that. You in fact do not care about facts unless those facts come from sources within your echo chamber. Take a step back and look at things objectively and put biases aside.

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