People Power Party Representative Joo Jin-woo claimed today that voter counts at certain polling stations during last year's 21st presidential election increased by exact increments of 100 or failed to grow by even a single person for certain periods, raising suspicions of intentional manipulation by the National Election Commission (NEC).
During a press conference at the National Assembly, Representative Joo stated, "During the 21st presidential election, the NEC intentionally manipulated voter turnout," adding, "At three polling stations in Hongje 2-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, hourly voter numbers were arbitrarily fabricated and entered falsely in units of 100."
According to data secured by Representative Joo, voter numbers increased in units of 100 for 11 consecutive hours, showing figures such as 100 at 7 a.m., 100 at 8 a.m., 100 at 9 a.m., 200 at 10 a.m., 100 at 11 a.m., 200 at 12 p.m., and 200 at 1 p.m.
He also noted that in Uichang-gu, Changwon, the voter count was confirmed to have increased by exactly 100 people for five consecutive hours from 7 a.m. to noon, claiming, "There are a total of five polling districts where voter numbers were fraudulently entered in units of 100 in this manner."
Representative Joo stated that there are also 90 polling districts where the number of voters did not increase by even a single person for a certain period of time.
He added, "At Namchon Voting District 1 in Osan, Gyeonggi Province, the count increased by 259 people in one hour, but did not increase by a single person for the following three hours."
"There are also 14 polling districts where the voter count increased by only one or two people for two or more consecutive hours," he said. "At Segok-dong Voting District 1 in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, just two people voted over a two-hour period immediately after an increase of 292 people in one hour."
Representative Joo asserted, "It has been revealed that voter counts were intentionally manipulated across a total of 109 locations in the last presidential election," and argued, "Entering false voter data into servers intentionally, spanning from the recent local elections to the past presidential election, means this is an organized and habitual criminal act."
Furthermore, he stated, "The recount of ballot boxes at Olympic Park centered around the NEC amounts to the destruction of evidence," adding, "The joint investigation headquarters of the prosecution and police must rapidly secure as much evidence as possible through compulsory investigations until a special counsel is launched, and the court must not dismiss arrest warrants in a manner that protects its own."
After the press conference, meeting with reporters, Representative Joo counter-proposed, "Instead of conducting a recount at Olympic Park, I counter-propose to the Democratic Party that the NEC's computer servers should be re-verified first through an agreement between the ruling and opposition parties," and maintained, "The logical order is to verify the intentional false data entries ranging from the past presidential election to the general elections first."
