Joo Jin-woo of the National Power Party "Falsely entered vote count results at 57 polling stations in the 22nd general election"

“We cannot leave the election to the National Election Commission… Special Prosecutor Lee Tae-han must conduct an intensive investigation.”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jo Daun = People Power Party lawmaker Joo Jin-woo claimed on the 1st that “the vote count results for a total of 57 voting districts in the 22nd general election were entered falsely.”

Rep. Joo held a press conference at the National Assembly on this day and said, "After checking the entire country following the last time in the metropolitan area, the numbers of the hand-written vote counting situation table and the vote count results entered into the computer were different."

According to data released by state lawmakers, 730 votes were falsely entered at a total of 15 polling places, and there was a difference in the number of voters at 42 polling places.

For example, in the 2nd voting district in Sigi-dong, Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do, Rep. Joo said that although the total number of valid votes in the ballot counting table was 0, 369 votes were recorded in the counting results.

Additionally, in the 3rd voting district of Ilgwang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, the number of invalid votes was recorded differently as 225 votes in the ballot counting status table and 4 votes in the counting results.

A difference of 19,400 voters was found across 42 polling stations.

In the 4th voting district of Songdo 4-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, the number of voters was 5,871 on the ballot counting table, but the number of voters was listed as 3,790 in the ballot counting results, which was about 2,000 fewer.

In the first voting district of Jeonha 1-dong, Dong-gu, Ulsan, the number of voters in the ballot counting table was 1,701, but the counting results reflected 3,717 voters, which is 2,000 more than this number.

Rep. Joo said, "If the National Election Commission's fraudulent input is at this level, we cannot be entrusted with managing the election any further. At this level, it is difficult to manage the main vote. The advance voting system must be completely abolished," adding, "Only an arrest investigation without sanctuary and severe punishment can restore public trust."

On the afternoon of the 2nd, Rep. Joo plans to visit the office of the Special Prosecutor Team of the Election Commission, Lee Tae-han, Seocho-gu, and deliver related materials.
