2020 National Assembly Election
But there was a key missing piece for Moon and the leftists, the real prize, the
National Assembly. They soon got it.
The April 15, 2020 the National Assembly election was an unexpected and
overwhelming victory for Moon’s Democratic Party. The party could now pass any
legislation it wanted. Peel off just three votes and amending the constitution was
possible.
Some conservatives and citizens groups alleged the election was rigged, and with
Chinese help.
Of particular concern was the role of the National Election Commissions. Its top
officials included Moon loyalists.
Specifically, there were concerns that the National Election Commission’s (NEC)
electronic network was hacked, the vote manipulated and the NEC leadership didn’t
care to detect or correct the attack.
An attack of that sort maybe not as hard as imagined. The network was basically a
main server at the National Election Commission that connected to each polling site.
It was not the decentralized system Americans are used to. And Chinese Huawei
equipment was said to be installed in the NEC hardware and network.
Given that PRC cybercriminals hacked the US Office of Personnel Management in
2015, stealing the personal information of 22 million current and former federal
employees, one imagines they could handle the South Korean NEC system without
breaking a sweat.
Particular suspicions centered on the early votes with their QR-coded ballots. The
6
early votes heavily and uniformly favored Moon’s party – unlike election day voting.
A former head of the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (South
Korea’s ‘MIT’) noted after examining the voting results whereby last-to-be-counted
‘early voting’ results turned out to be just enough to tip the balance for Democratic
Party candidates in district after district – and by about the same amount. The only
explanation for the ‘coincidence’, he said, was: “Either God did it or it was rigged.”
Regular citizens – even in the face of government pressure – produced additional
evidence of problems with electronic counting machines, counterfeit ballots,
‘throughput’ speeds at voting sites that would require a voter coming and voting in a
matter of seconds, and ballot ‘chain of custody’ issues, among others.
The evidence is detailed, public, and open to challenge – and it is still available.
It was memorialized for posterity by a private organization, One Korea
Network(OKN), and has been published as a White Paper on Electoral Fraud 2020.
6 The South Korean electoral system allows for two days of ‘early voVng’ (EV) that is held four to five days
before elecVon day when ‘same day’ voVng takes place. ‘Early voVng’ is considered parVcularly ripe for
electoral manipulaVon even beyond the normal vulnerabiliVes posed by securely storing and transporVng
ballots from voVng sites to counVng locaVons during the four-to-five-day period between EV and same day
voVng.
