(Radio Iowa) – The trial of the Sioux City woman accused of committing election fraud in elections when her husband’s name is underway and expected to last into next week. Kim Taylor is accused of filling out ballot request forms AND absentee ballots for several Vietnamese residents in the Sioux City area.

An Iowa State University student testified that when he tried of file his absentee ballot from Ames, he discovered someone had already cast a vote in his name. His mother, who testified through an interpreter, said Taylor called her to see if she needed help voting and Taylor completed the paperwork, but Nguyen signed the ballot. She also testified Taylor told her it was o.k. to complete ballot request forms for her son and daughter, but she never would have done that if she knew it was a crime.

Kim Taylor and her husband Jeremy Taylor have denied the charges.
