programming was strongly suggested by people’s testimony and circumstantial
evidence. A whistleblower explained publicly and in detail how to connect the ballot
sorting machines to the external network. It was also discovered that there were
electronic parts inside the ballot sorting machines that could possibly be
programmed to manipulate the ballot counting as desired. Moreover, the NEC
illegally and deliberately used QR codes instead of barcodes only for the early votes.
Given that a significant portion of the election equipment used by the Commission
was a 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.
