🇰🇷According to a response submitted to the court by the Songpa District Election Commission, it was confirmed that ballots without serial numbers were distributed to voters and used in the election during a ballot shortage.

At the time, the election commission had been manually writing serial numbers on additional ballots before distribution. However, as shortages hit multiple polling stations, the numbering process fell behind, ultimately resulting in the distribution of unserialized ballots.

The commission not only failed to determine exactly how many unnumbered ballots were used, but also arbitrarily concluded that these ballots carried the same validity as regular ones, despite the procedural defects.

"This is how Korea's elections should work."
— Dr. Tara O (@DrTaraO)

One voting day. Hand count on site.
No electronic voting. No moving ballot boxes.

Follow the Germany and Taiwan model.
Count ballots where they're cast. Film it.

When ballots travel, chain of custody vanishes.
That's where fraud lives.

Korea's election commission has been exploiting these gaps for decades.

2026-6-13. Daegu, Korea. Koreans march waving the ROK & US flags, chanting:

Fraudulent Elections, (so) Re-election!

One day voting, (Same day) Hand count!

[Tara O @DrTaraO]

2026-6-13. Olympic Park. People demanding elections with no electronic voting/counting machine, 1 day vote, same day hand count.
Other expressions related to defending a free Korea are present.

Unbelievable—SK police forcefully drags an old man out for demanding his right to vote.

Who disbanded the Defense Counterintelligence Command?

The Lee Jae-myung administration & Jung Chung-rae-led DPK (Democratic Party of Korea)

Who dismantled the Drone Operations Command?

The Lee Jae-myung admin & Jung Chung-rae-led DPK

Who looked the other way as North Korea sent thousands of waste-filled balloons across the border?

The Lee Jae-myung admin & Jung Chung-rae-led DPK

But, the judge sentences President Yoon Suk-yeol to 30 years in prison for defending the Republic of Korea against North Korea.

People demand their sovereignty back. They say
-no electronic machine voting/counting
-paper ballots
-hand counting at the voting site (no transporting of ballots)

Also say:
The NEC (National Election Commission) and the DPK (Democratic Party of Korea) are one.

2026-6-13, Olympic Park. Some organization is controlling foot traffic. 물어볼께있어요. 왜 올공 1-3근처 들어오는데 이렇게 막아놓고 한줄로 서서 돌아가게 만들었죠? 또 어느 조직이? 지난 일요일 (6-10)은 "자발적인 개인"이라는 사람들이 직접 못들어가게 줄서서 돌아가게 했는데? 왜 아직도 마음대로 다니지 못하게 해놨죠? 지금은 물통으로 벽을 만들어 놓고. 또 태국기를 노란줄/초록색 테이프로 칭칭 감아놓고. 왜 그러죠?

[Bithereum @nickdasugar]

방송에는 나오지 않았던 박근혜 대통령 탄핵 반대 집회 영상입니다.

매번 참석할 때마다 지금의 올공 집회와는 비교하기 어려울 정도로 엄청난 규모의 인파가 모였습니다. 그럼에도 결국 막아내지 못했습니다.

당시에는 많은 국민들이 이해하지 못했고, 마치 극단적인 사람들인 것처럼 바라보기도 했습니다. 하지만 차가운 시선에도 개의치 않았고 누구보다 절박한 마음으로 대한민국을 지키고자 목소리를 내고 있었던 분들입니다.

그때의 실패를 반면교사로 삼아야 합니다. 이제는 애국청년들이 더욱 크게 외치고, 더욱 단단하게 연대하며, 끝까지 포기하지 않기를 바랍니다.

그리고 이번에는 반드시 승리하여 대한민국의 자유민주주의와 법치주의를 지켜내기를 바랍니다. 🫡🇰🇷

Judge LEE Jeong-yup sentenced President Yoon Suk-yeol to 30 years imprisonment for, get this--drone surveillance over Pyongyang, which he ruled "Benefits the Enemy in General." How?

It seems more like the judge is benefitting the enemy.

🇹🇼台湾媒体记者在韩国采访，因说中文被抗议群众包围质问是不是中国人
——确认是台湾人后，韩国民众立刻鼓掌道歉、手写标语贴在他们身上‼️

🎤台湾镜新闻主播张倍滋和摄影师王耕晨，赴首尔松坡区奥林匹克公园采访选举争议抗议现场。

🗣️连线时一开口说中文，约20多名抗议民众立刻将他们团团围住，激动质问："你们是不是中国人？是不是中国媒体？"

气氛一度极度紧张。

张倍滋当场解释："我们是从台湾来的媒体。"

🤝场面瞬间180度大转变——
民众立刻道歉、鞠躬。有人当场手写"中国✗ 台湾媒体"的标语，直接贴在摄影师背上当"护身符"，让抗议群众对台湾团队放下戒心。现场随即爆发掌声和欢呼。

张倍滋说："身为新闻工作者，我们最重要的职责，就是在现场把所见所闻如实报道出来，让大众知道。"

韩国抗议现场的反中情绪有多强烈——连讲中文都会被质疑。

但一旦确认是台湾人，迎来的是掌声和拥抱。

中国和台湾，同样的语言，截然不同的待遇。

Who paid for the creation of A-WEB (Association of World Election Bodies)?

Who paid for A-WEB's international conference with 111 participants from 42 countries? (Held only 10 days after A-WEB's creation.)

Putting together a conference with 111 participants is a lot of work, a lot of coordination, & careful planning, especially to do this only 10 days after its creation.

中国公安承认是韩国警察的外包。

视频中穿着警服的男子是中国公安，声称自己是韩国警察的外包。该内容与国家安全直接相关，是韩国国家安全危机，是无声的战争。

大韩民国🇰🇷加油，一定要将中共独裁反人类势力赶出韩国，民主自由来之不易，一旦被中共彻底掌握将会是灭顶之灾！
