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 desired. This evidently
contradicts the National Election Commission’s claim that the “sorting” machines
only “sort” ballots.

Fifth, although the Public Official Election Act clearly states that “the serial number
printed on the ballot must be displayed in the form of a barcode, the bar-shaped
symbols marked for computer recognition, and the barcodes can contain the name
of the election, electoral districts, and juridical election commission”, the National
Election Commission illegally and deliberately used QR codes instead of barcodes.
The whistleblower allegedly exposed in detail that the ballot sorting machine does
not only simply sort out ballots but can also identify the QR codes.

Sixth, there was no security camera at the sites storing out-of-jurisdiction early-vote
boxes and the National Election Commission had refused to install them. Further
allegations include the National Election Commission giving orders to cover up the
security cameras in all of the early voting stations nationwide on the early voting
day. It was also confirmed that there were warehouses without any security camera,
that were used to store ballots after counting votes.

Seventh, numerous ballot boxes that have been opened, ripped-off, along with a hole
on the side have been found in the warehouses run by the National Election
Commission across the country. And it was identified that the sealing tapes used in
the election to seal the boxes did not leave any traces of tearing, and it was even
pointed out to be less adhesive than Post-its. In addition, we witnessed a situation
where ballots from different districts were mixed together. In addition, numerous
pieces of evidence indicate the overall lack of proper election management.

As such, numerous evidence and people support that the 21st national election is a
rigged election. The election is the flower of democracy. The transparency of
elections to exercise the sovereignty of the people must be thoroughly guaranteed.
Any fraudulent election must be identified and punished in order to sustain the
healthy and sound improvement and stability of our democracy.

In this time of various advancing cyber risks at home and abroad, no one can curb
rational and concrete suspicions with blind faith in current technologies and
