From the November 21, 2023 article:
Kim Taylor, who was born in Vietnam, approached members of the Sioux City Vietnamese community and offered to help them vote. Some of these people had limited ability to read and understand English.
Taylor would visit the homes of these Vietnamese community members and bring voter registration forms and absentee ballot forms and, in some cases, fill them out on their behalf.
According to the Sioux City Journal, Taylor also used people’s ballots to cast votes for Donald Trump during the 2020 presidential election. The Journal reports that one of the people Taylor forged a ballot for was a registered Democrat and he testified that he “had no intention of voting for Donald Trump in that election.”

Republicans try to restrict voting with the excuse that they are combating election fraud. Yet most of the recent high profile cases of election tampering feature Republican perpetrators. And they are quite open about it. Trump's phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is available here.
A GOP woman in Iowa faces up to five years in prison for each of the 52 counts of election fraud she was just convicted of.
The wife of a Republican politician in Iowa has been convicted of dozens of criminal charges related to a 2020 voter fraud scheme aimed at getting her husband into office.
Department of Justice officials announced the verdict against Kim Phuong Taylor in a statement released on Tuesday, explaining that she had submitted absentee ballots on behalf of voters who had not given her permission to do so.
She was convicted of 52 counts in total, including 26 counts of providing false information in registering and voting, 23 counts of voter fraud, and three counts of fraudulently registering to vote. She could face up to five years in prison for each charge.
According to the DoJ, Ms Taylor “perpetrated a scheme to fraudulently generate votes for her husband in the primary election for Iowa’s 4th US Congressional District in June 2020”. She’s then accused of doing the same thing after his defeat when he would go on to launch a campaign for Woodbury County supervisor. Mr Taylor won that second race.
Her husband Jeremy, an unindicted co-conspirator in the case whose campaigns were the intended beneficiary of her fraudulent actions, said in a statement to a local news affiliate, KCAU, that he and his wife had hoped for a verdict of not guilty but added that they respected the verdict.
CNN describes how blatant this scheme was.
Prosecutors say Kim Taylor visited households in the Vietnamese community, encouraging residents to fill out voter registration forms and absentee ballot request forms. Some of the residents couldn’t read or understand English, according to prosecutors, and she offered to help.
Kim Taylor “submitted or caused others to submit dozens of voter registrations, absentee ballot request forms, and absentee ballots containing false information,” the Justice Department said in a statement.
She also “completed and signed voter forms without voters’ permission and told others that they could sign on behalf of relatives who were not present,” the DOJ said.
We remember another major case of vote fraud a few years ago by a Republican operative in North Carolina.
North Carolina GOP Operative Faces New Felony Charges That Allege Ballot Fraud
Republicans don't care about rules any more. Their goal simply is to seize and hold on to power at all costs.
And this is nothing new. A segment of NPR's "This American Life" examined election-related fraud in the US back in 2004. You can listen to the segment at the link below. The allegations against Democrats in the segment, supplied by Republican Scott Hogenson, were mostly unverified or borderline comical. The allegations against Republicans were substantial and ultimately led to several convictions.
276: Swing Set: Act Two
Cold-cock The Vote
From the viewpoint of a Republican candidate nowadays, these are the only possible results of an election:
"I won."
"The election was stolen!"
Never mind that they are the ones out to steal elections.

Ag Pleez Deddy – Jeremy Taylor
‘Ag Pleez Deddy’ would overshadow almost all other works of Jeremy Taylor, but here is a little gem that should be taken out and listened to every now and then. Like ‘Ag Pleez Deddy’, this is a great observation of South African life and accents. Here Jeremy documents a part of life that no longer exists and that is ‘The Lift Girl’. Way back in the day, there were…

When a temptation of lust assaults thee, do not resist it by heaping up arguments against it and disputing with it, considering its offers and its danger; but fly from it, that is, think not at all of it; lay aside all consideration concerning it, and turn away from it by any severe and laudable thought of business.
