Which logical fallacy is used in the text?
Did you really vote for Jim as class treasurer? Didn't you hear that his uncle was imprisoned for embezzling $1.5 million?

 - guilt by association: a negative association intended to discredit someone or something
 - straw man: a misrepresentation of an opponent's position that makes it easier to argue against
The text argues that Jim can't be trusted with money, because his uncle embezzled money. However, even though his uncle couldn't be trusted with money, that doesn't necessarily mean that Jim can't be trusted with it. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as guilt by association.
