6·3 local election ballot shortage issue has led to Joo Jin-woo, a member of the People Power Party, revealing on August 3 that the Election Commission intentionally manipulated voter numbers and turnout rates in 159 polling places during the 22nd general election.
At a press conference held at the National Assembly, Joo stated, "Yesterday, I exposed the 'intentional manipulation of voter turnout' during the last presidential election, yet both the Democratic Party and the Election Commission, as well as the joint investigation team, have fallen into deep silence. What is the reason for turning a blind eye to such serious electoral fraud? Are they all in cahoots?" He had previously indicated suspicions of arbitrary manipulation of voter turnout by the Election Commission during the 21st presidential election.
He noted, "In the 22nd general election, a new method called 'twin polling stations' was employed," pointing out that the voter counts at polling stations 1 and 6 in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, increased identically, as if they were twins.
"The identical increase in voter turnout at twin polling stations cannot be a coincidence. It suggests that the officials in charge of each polling station colluded with senior staff at the central Election Commission to fabricate and input numbers at will," he added, mentioning that there were a total of five pairs, or ten locations, of twin polling stations nationwide.
He also criticized the manipulation of numbers to deceive the public, stating, "There were nine instances where voter counts were intentionally and falsely entered, following a specific pattern."
Furthermore, he claimed that additional cases of intentional manipulation from local and presidential elections had been discovered in 140 locations during the 22nd general election, asserting that the Election Commission has repeatedly committed such offenses in every election.
"No one can argue that this was a 'flawed election' anymore," he declared, urging the special investigation committee to conduct a thorough investigation and verification of the erroneous vote count cases and twin vote instances nationwide.
He called on the joint investigation team to "immediately conduct a forced investigation to secure the suspects and evidence of the crimes," warning that if they fail to carry out additional server searches and arrests of those involved, he would file criminal charges against the Election Commission suspects and those in the joint investigation team who neglected their duties.
Additionally, he urged the Democratic Party to actively cooperate with the launch of a special investigation and a thorough national inquiry, stating, "If the Democratic Party turns a blind eye to the Election Commission's fraud and corruption that occurred during the presidential and general elections, they will face the public's stern judgment and resistance."
