Professor Kim Dong-soo raises 'early-vote manipulation' suspicion based on Jangan-gu, Suwon election results

Kim said this produced a gap of 48 percentage points between the two parties and strongly suggested that fake ballots were included in early voting.

Kim Dong-soo said a similar gap appeared in the vote results for Jeongja 1-dong, Suwon, Jangan-gu. He claimed that in same-day voting the gap between the two parties' candidates was about 5 points, but in in-district early voting the gap widened to 53 points. To explain such a large difference, Kim alleged that vote shares were manipulated by injecting one fake ballot for every genuine ballot. He estimated that if 50% of the Democratic Party's announced 76.62% share were fake, its actual share would be only about 26.62%.

Based on these results, he estimated that about 1,550 fake ballots were included in early voting and argued that this could hardly be a mere coincidence.

Kim explained that this reversal occurred through the same method of injecting one fake ballot for each genuine ballot. He pointed out that the 1,661 votes the National Election Commission reported for the Democratic Party included 1,193 fake ballots, and argued that vote shares were intentionally altered according to the ratio of fake ballots injected.

To support his claims, Kim Dong-soo presented a model calculating how vote shares change depending on the ratio of fake ballots injected. According to him, injecting one fake ballot for every two genuine ballots yields vote shares of roughly 64% to 68%, while injecting one fake ballot for every genuine ballot yields shares of roughly 75% to 80%. Kim argued that this model resembles the vote-share distribution seen in the actual election results and used this to further amplify suspicions of manipulation.

He also suggested that information security experts, such as former National Intelligence Service Third Deputy Director Baek Jong-wook, be brought into the special counsel team to uncover the truth of the election manipulation.
