SIOUX CITY — A federal jury has found Kim Taylor guilty on 52 counts of voter fraud.
The jury returned its verdict Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Sioux City.
Taylor was charged with 52 counts of voting-related fraud accusing her of conducting a scheme in which she fraudulently filled out voting forms and ballots on behalf of numerous Vietnamese voters, many of whom have limited English comprehension. Taylor was accused of filling out forms and having voters sign on behalf of children and grandchildren without fully explaining or interpreting the forms or telling them they needed permission before signing papers on another person's behalf.
Pat Gill, Woodbury County Auditor, speaks at a press conference held Friday, Jan. 13, 2023, at the Woodbury County Courthouse in Sioux City, Iowa. Gill was addressing his office's role in uncovering alleged election fraud in recent elections. Kim Phuong Taylor, 49, was arrested Thursday and pleaded not guilty to 26 counts of providing false information in registering and voting, three counts of fraudulent registration and 23 counts of fraudulent voting. She is the wife of Woodbury County Supervisor Jeremy Taylor.

Throughout six days of trial, prosecutors said Taylor, who was born in Vietnam, did so in order to amass votes for her husband, Jeremy Taylor, a Republican who ran unsuccessfully for his party's nomination for a U.S. House seat in the 2020 primary and was elected to the Woodbury County Board of Supervisors that fall. Jeremy Taylor has not been charged, but has been named as an unindicted co-conspirator.
