Huawei brand associated with the Chinese Tencent Company, suspicions were raised that
the Chinese Communist Party may have involved in the election.
Numerous civil society organizations issued declarations and statements requesting
official investigations for election fraud. For example, the Professors’ Solidarity for Freedom
& Justice of Korea having a membership of 6,300 full-time professors in South Korea issued
the following official statement jointly with several civil society groups:
< The Democracy Manifesto for Fair Election> May 26, 2020, Professors' Solidarity for
Freedom & Justice of Korea
We, the people, demand cooperation for a thorough investigation of the alleged frauds in
the April 15th National Assembly Election and punishment of the ringleaders. We are
ordinary citizens, students, housewives, office workers, and professors of the Republic of
Korea. A number of Koreans and intellectuals from abroad are also joining us here today.
Now, the 21st National Assembly Election has passed the stage of suspicion of fraud, and
only the process of revealing the actual truth remains. We are persistently speaking about
this issue because reasonable suspicions have been raised strongly and concretely that the
results of the people's sovereign rights were fundamentally distorted and the results of the
vote count were manipulated by certain individuals or power. The evidence is as follows.
First, the statistical results derived from the April 15th election were unnaturally uniform
and regular, and that is paradoxical and highly questionable. With regard to early voting,
the number of early votes outside electoral districts divided by the total number of the early
votes was nearly identical for each candidate from both Party No.1 and Party No. 2.
Furthermore, in numerous electoral districts, the number of early votes was consistently
about 10% higher than regular votes for Party No.1 whereas that of Party No.2 was
consistently lower by 10%. There were even cases where the number of votes was higher
than the number of electors, in several districts. Therefore, in and outside of the country,
numerous experts in Statistics and Mathematics have analyzed the data of this election and
further confirmed that such statistical results cannot occur naturally.
Second, it was caught multiple times across the country how blank ballots were placed
into the box for the candidates of the Party No.1, and these early voting papers, that should
have been printer-printed and defined in size and format, were irregularly cut off and
margins were not the same as the normal ones that meet the standard specifications.
Besides, there were multiple events where two ballots were stuck together as if they were
guillotined wrongly, and it ignited further suspicions when heaps of crisp, unfolded ballots
were poured out from a single ballot box during the vote-counting process.
Third, the “seals” that should have been “sealing” the ballot box seals were taken off or
damaged. Dozens of such seals were found in the waste dump at the waste disposal plant.
Additionally, the signatures on the seals, which should have been signed by the assigned
election observers in advance, were found to be different from his or her original
handwriting and it was even captured that such signing on the ballot seal was taking place
not at the designated polling station, but at the warehouse run by the National Election
Commission.
Fourth, the National Election Commission had explained that ‘since the ballot sorting
machines operate offline, there is absolutely no connection to the outside’. However, this
was proven to be false and in fact the wireless connection was available for these machines.
This was revealed by a courageous individual who claims to be a whistleblower and
explained publicly and in detail, how to connect these machines to the external network.
Besides, the sorting machines turned out to also have connection ports for cable
connections. Moreover, it was also discovered that there were electronic parts inside the
ballot sorting machine that could be programmed to manipulate the ballot counting as
