(Radio Iowa) – A federal jury has convicted the wife of a Woodbury County supervisor on 52 counts of voting fraud. The jury returned a guilty verdict on all charges against Kim Taylor after six hours of deliberations Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. Taylor was accused of filling out or helping to file absentee ballots for numerous Vietnamese residents in the Sioux City area and had them signed by people who weren’t authorized to cast the ballot.
The charges date back to elections in 2020 when her husband, Jeremy Taylor, ran for congress and later for Woodbury County supervisor. Prosecutors referred to him as an undicted co-conspirator in a pretrial filing. After the verdict, Judge Leonard Strand ordered a pre-sentencing investigation and has not set a sentencing date for Kim Taylor, who will remain free until then.
Her attorney, F. Montgomery Brown, says he respects the verdict, but would no comment on a possible appeal until after her sentencing.
