Sioux City woman released from federal prison after serving sentence for election fraud

A Sioux City woman married to a Woodbury County executive has been released from a federal prison in Minnesota after serving a prison sentence for election fraud.

Kim Taylor, 50, will now spend four months under house arrest in Sioux City. Last November, a federal grand jury found her guilty of 26 counts of providing false information when registering and voting, three counts of fraudulent registration and 23 counts of voter fraud. Taylor was released from the minimum security prison in Waseca, Minnesota, on Friday. Her sentence will be appealed.

The charges all relate to voter registration during her husband Jeremy's run for the Board of Supervisors and Congress. He was never charged but chose not to run for another term on the Board of Supervisors.
