Election workers collect voting papers

< Article Excerpt //--> Electors were unable to properly manage voting papers during the pre-voting process for those who were confirmed and quarantined on May ５, causing confusion.Some voters protested, saying, "It violates the principle of direct and secret voting," as election workers collected voting papers instead of putting them directly in the ballot box.Some polling stations put voting papers in baskets and transported them, saying, "We don't do this in the election for school president and mayor."The ruling and opposition parties visited the National Election Commission in protest.The National Election Commission said, "It was insufficient for voting management, but there was absolutely no illegal possession," and decided to hold an emergency meeting on July ７ to prepare measures to vote in Japan.<-- Article Excerpt //>

This is a surprising incident, but is it possible in Korea?It is surprising that election officials collect voting papers.In the ２０２０ general elections in Korea, the ballot box itself was suspected to be replaced and there was a big problem with illegal elections, and this is like this in the presidential election.Moon Jae In said yesterday, "It is regrettable mistake, and the NEC should explain the situation," while Lee Jae-myung said, "We should take thorough measures to prevent confusion in the main vote on June ９."In the first place, it can be said that no countermeasures have been taken even though there was such a disturbance in the ２０２０ general election.The president's Moon Jae In and the ruling Democratic Party should had taken the measures together.

In the ２０２０ election, there was a lot of controversy over the illegal election.Korea uses an electronic ballot counting system and its communication equipment is made by Huawei.It is unclear why China is introducing Chinese products into the voting system because it is not a democracy, but some point out that the results of the vote counting may have been falsified due to illegal access from China.A professor at the University of Michigan said, "The ruling party's landslide victory in the general election is statistically abnormal, and there are many illegal votes that is enough to change the president-elect, and he published a paper about that.
