declined to 49.6%. There was also reported similar ‘downward’ adjustment of
                     vote totals during election day. The excuse: “the votes are just tentative.”

               l  Statistical anomalies
                   –  Since at least the 2020 National Assembly election, respected statisticians have
                     noted an anomalous difference between "early voting" (EV) that heavily favors
                     Democratic Party candidates, while "same day voting" on election days favors
                     "conservative" candidates. Some experts argue this difference should not exist
                     under laws of statistical probability.
                   –  One observer notes that people have been ‘brainwashed’ to believe that leftists
                     vote more during early voting than conservatives. However, the 2020 National
                     Assembly results revealed that more 60+ year olds (considered more likely to
                     vote "conservative") voted during the early voting period than younger people
                     (considered more likely to vote for the Democratic Party).
                   –  Additionally, during the 2024 National Assembly election, in all 425 wards in
                     Seoul the DP candidate had the advantage in early voting. In 599 wards in
                     Gyeonggi Province the same thing occurred. Busan, Daejeon, and Gwanju
                     showed similarly suspect results that one lawyer said should warrant thorough
                     investigation by the prosecutors’ office, to include examining election
                     management committee servers.
                   –  Another expert noted: “While Democrats may be much more likely to show up
                     at early voting in certain areas, the probability of Democrats showing up at
                     early voting locations in the vast majority (98%) of precincts across the country
                     is close to zero.”

                   –  These and other statistical anomalies are raised by experts and they have put
                     their work ‘out there’ to be challenged. Yet nobody does. Dismissing their
                     assessment as baseless, debunked, conspiracy theories is as suspicious as it is
                     just lazy.
               As mentioned earlier, when the former president of KAIST says “Either God did it or
               it was rigged,” you’d think somebody would at least "check his work."



               National Election Commission – Part of the Problem

               The organization that should be responsible for ensuring this is checked is the
               National Election Commission which has members that are close to the Democratic
               Party and seems actively trying to stifle any investigation.

               Suspicions of electronic and computer hacking to affect electoral outcomes in South
               Korean elections were raised after the 2020 election and continue to be raised. Dr.
               Jang Jae-Eun, a Korean Military Academy graduate, recently filed a lawsuit against
               five officials from the National Election Commission’s IT team, citing them as key
               figures in potential election fraud. The likelihood of success in this suit is doubtful,
               considering past experience of such election integrity lawsuits.
               Allegations concerning electronic manipulation were, in fact, made as early as 2019
               when an administrative lawsuit was filed demanding disclosure of the software and
               commands used in early voting machines. The courts rejected the lawsuit. And the
               National Election Commission has strenuously resisted efforts to insert transparency
