On 4.15 Rigged Election Lawsuit, "It's Time to Investigate"

On October 7, the lawyers of the National Investment Corps held a press conference for the representatives of the election invalidation lawsuit and explained in detail why the lawsuit related to the illegal election in the April 15 general election is proceeding.

On the morning of October 7, a group of representatives of the Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, and proportional representatives, held a press conference at the Seoul Bar Association in Seocho-gu, Seoul. They said, "on the 30th of last month, the Election Commission dismantled the server related to the 4·15 general election, which was being kept at the Gwanak Office, and carried it to the Gwacheon Office. It is difficult to rule out the possibility that the authenticity, integrity, and reliability of electronic records have already been damaged in the process."

In particular, the fact that the litigation party touched the server, which is an important evidence in the litigation, was a big scratch on the integrity of the election, and the possibility of election invalidation is raised. Since the ballots and seal boxes were also damaged innumerable amounts of evidence, it seems that the integrity, which is the basis of a fair election, has been violated.

Attorney Do Tae-woo of the Litigation Representatives said, "In the 21st general election, there is a vague way to objectively check whether the actual voting was made by covering all the CCTVs of the pre-voting." However, the NEC is refuting that the relocation of the Gwacheon government office has already implemented the plan established in 2014, and that it has no relation to the general election server.

The National Investment Bank argues that this illegal election lawsuit is markedly different from the existing election lawsuits, which are simply counting votes. In the existing electoral fraud lawsuit, it was only about filing an election lawsuit against a constituency with a slight difference based on the convincing national election results. In the past, voting was conducted according to the list of electors printed on the basis of the date of creation of the electoral list, instead of using an electronic electoral list called the integrated electoral list. If an election cannot be held on the day of voting, the absentee must be reported in advance in writing. However, in this election, there was a nationally unexplained percentage of votes, and even cases were counted as being voted even though they did not.

In addition, even if elections were not possible on the day of voting, they were able to enter any polling place to vote, and the contents are recorded in the electronic election roster, which is an integrated electoral list managed by the Central Election Commission, and records the pre-voting status and the pre-voting date and time.

In particular, there was a significant gap between the pre-voting and the same-day voting, which is unusual enough to point out by the authorities in statistics and the authorities in the detection of fraudulent elections. The national investment agency said, "In order to clarify the denial of the general election, forensics throughout the election are needed. As a result, I'm also not sure if it can be reliable enough to plan properly and carry out forensics, etc.,” Representatives, including lawmakers, filed an election-free lawsuit to the Supreme Court on May 7, claiming that pre-voting was manipulated in the 4·15 National Assembly election.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court allocated the case on May 11 in two copies and designated the chief judge as Supreme Judge Kim Sang-hwan, but there is still no recount. Article 225 of the Public Official Election Act requires that election proceedings be processed within 180 days from the date the lawsuit is filed, so the deadline is less than a month.

Including former lawmaker Min Kyung-wook's district, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, the 4·15 general election invalidity lawsuits are all 127 cases, of which 117 are regional district elections and 10 are proportional representative elections.
