The wife of an Iowa county supervisor was sentenced Monday to four months in jail after being convicted in a scheme to stuff the ballot box to support her husband’s unsuccessful campaign for a congressional seat.
Kim Taylor also was ordered to serve four months’ home confinement following her release from prison and to pay $5,200, KTIV-TV reports.
Prosecutors said Taylor, a Vietnam native who was convicted in November of 52 counts related to voter fraud, approached numerous voters of Vietnamese heritage with limited English comprehension and filled out and signed election forms and ballots on behalf of them and their English-speaking children.
They said the scheme was designed to help her husband, Jeremy Taylor, a former Iowa House member, who finished a distant third in the 2020 race for the Republican nomination to run for Iowa’s 4th District congressional seat. Despite that loss, he ultimately won election to the Woodbury County Board of Supervisors that fall.
Had to spend 10 seconds scanning article for the word “Republican”. Was not disappointed.
So you mean the people shouting the loudest about election fraud are the same people committing the election fraud??
It’s all about creating a permission structure. Accuse the other side of doing what you want to do. If they’re cheating, it means we must do the same to even the playing field. If “ANTIFA” is rioting in the streets, that means using force to break into the Capitol is ok too.
I felt it in my waters.
Thank you, you saved others the effort. You are noble.
Once again, no surprise
Damn… Wasted that time before looking at comments.
R.E.P.U.B.L.I.C.A.N
Say it loud and clear in the headline.
The fun thing about voting on behalf of other people is that even if you get caught, those votes still count.
And she got a tiny punishment for it.
Really you think it invalidate them.
House arrest is hardly a punishment
Well, there is 4 months in prison and a (negligible) fine, too.
Still a very slap on the wrist penalty for what should be a very severe crime, but I suppose in this case there weren’t exactly “damages” since her husband lost the election anyways.
Especially compared to the lady in Texas that got 5 years for voting provisionally in good faith as instructed by a poll worker. I know it eventually got overturned, but it took years and I believe she did spend real time in prison.
4 months in jail followed by 4 months house arrest and $2500 fine. Still tiny for 54 counts of voter fraud.
I was going to make a silly comment about her crying during sentencing and saying something like, “b-b-but I’m white!”
Then I read Prosecutors said Taylor, a Vietnam native
and thought, ahh the jail time makes sense now.
That last sentence is brutal
That sounds exactly the type of shit I’d expect from Sioux City. Trashiest “city” in the whole state.
My buddy JD moved back to Iowa a few years ago from Seattle to run in Iowa 3 against Steve King, as well as to take care of his aging parents. He got as close as any Dem has to winning there, but couldn’t break through the scummy behavior. His campaign tourbus was called “Souix City Sue.”
Voter fraud in America?! Certainly a Repugnantcon. scans article yep.
