Viewers of Sisa Tapa Respond to Polls by Falsifying Region and Age... Signs of Organized Fraudulent Responses from Supporters Detected

In a Sisa Tapa broadcast, a viewer shared their experience participating in a poll, stating that they cast a total of 82 votes using their own and their husband's phones. This is an instance of one person participating in both party member voting and general public opinion polls using multiple phone lines, which the hosts criticized as 'moral insensitivity.'

The viewer mentioned using multiple lines to respond to polls and casting block votes for a specific candidate, raising the possibility that such methods were widely used.

In a Sisa Tapa broadcast, methods for participating in public opinion polls using phone numbers other than those used for Democratic Party membership registration were discussed. One speaker stated, "Only the phone I used to register is registered as a party member; the other phones are registered as general users," implying that general responses could be elicited regardless of party membership.

This method is interpreted as an attempt to exploit the limitations of the Democratic Party's membership verification system to influence public opinion polls as a general respondent rather than a party member.

During a broadcast, instructions were revealed to select a different region if the sample for a specific region was closed when responding to a poll. A Sisa Tapa speaker said, "When you receive a poll call, I think the sample for Daegu, Gyeongbuk or Gangwon is probably not full yet," suggesting to choose undersampled regions like Daegu, Gyeongbuk, or Gangwon if Seoul or Gyeonggi regions were closed.

Furthermore, specific instructions were given to falsely respond as being in their 20s or another specific age group if those age samples were insufficient, indicating an intentional attempt to influence poll results.

According to New 탐사 reports, there were signs in Sisa Tapa broadcasts of instructions to block comments or statements from viewers raising allegations of election fraud. Simultaneously, repeated encouragement for falsifying age and region when responding to polls was observed.

This is interpreted as an attempt by supporters of a specific candidate to manipulate poll results and even block internal criticism of such actions.

In Sisa Tapa broadcasts, specific names of polling companies were mentioned, with respondents saying things like, "There are two companies. You must have received it from Metavoice," indicating that information about survey organizations was shared. Along with this, real-time information about the blocking status of samples by time slot was also shared.

Furthermore, cases were revealed where respondents entered false information instead of their actual residential region and age, with one respondent admitting, "I just put 20s, just in case," confirming intentional data manipulation.

According to New 탐사 reports, some supporters proudly disclosed during broadcasts that they had falsified their age and region when responding to polls. This shows a facet of 'moral insensitivity,' where they either do not recognize the act as undermining the fairness of public opinion polls or take it lightly.

These cases further clearly reveal signs of organized groups of supporters in specific constituencies attempting to interfere with poll results.

One viewer stated that a poll call came on her son's phone, and she directly instructed her son and completed the poll together on speakerphone. This respondent said, "It came on my son's phone. I had all the phones on and ready, waiting," detailing the method of double-responding using a family member's name.

Even though her son had little interest in politics, the poll response was driven by his mother. This could be criticized as an act of voting interference beyond mere proxy response.

This case shows the possibility that proxy responses using family members' names could be systematically carried out when multiple phones are available, which could significantly degrade the credibility of public opinion polls.

New 탐사 hosts cited the standards of former ethics committee chairman Han Dong-soo to point out the impropriety of proxy voting. They said, "According to Han Dong-soo, the former chairman of the ethics committee, it's not a disciplinary offense. If he called his son and they voted together on speakerphone, and the son pressed with his finger, it's not proxy voting," criticizing that having a family member next to them and pressing on speakerphone is virtually the same as instructed voting.

This raised a serious issue where the fair voting system is distorted, and respondents' free decision-making is infringed upon.

During a poll, when a respondent revealed their supported candidate, the interviewer immediately ended the call. According to New 탐사 reports, when the respondent said, "You have to pick Kim Min-seok. Yes, you can pick Kim Min-seok," the poll was halted.

This indicates that when a poll aims to elicit results favorable to a specific candidate, beyond simply gathering respondents' opinions, communication is refused if the respondent supports a candidate from the opposing camp.

According to New 탐사 reports, scenes repeatedly appeared in Sisa Tapa broadcasts where respondents certified that they participated in polls by manipulating their region and age. One respondent stated, "Another scene appears where someone, a 60-year-old in Seoul, almost confesses to fraudulent voting by saying they are a 20-year-old in Daegu."

This is an example of a 60-year-old Seoul resident falsely responding as a 20-year-old from Daegu, showing that fraudulent voting is being carried out without hesitation.

Sisa Tapa supporters publicly confessed during a broadcast that they had falsified their region and age when responding to public opinion polls. One supporter said, "My home is in Seoul. The regions that came up were Daegu, Chungcheong. I did those... I did 20s, and I'm in my late 60s," admitting that a Seoul resident posed as being from the Daegu/Chungcheong region and a person in their late 60s misrepresented their age as 20s.

These actions appear to have been deliberately carried out to support Choi Min-hee or Lee Seong-yoon, and are criticized as an organized attempt to manipulate public opinion for specific candidates.

The New 탐사 host criticized the behavior of supporters who shared their participation in election fraud as if it were a heroic tale. The statement, "This is exciting and something to be proud of, but it's not a heroic tale. Boasting about participating in an illegal and fraudulent election as if it were some windfall," points to the seriousness of this moral insensitivity.

The hosts emphasized that these actions constitute illegal and fraudulent elections, adding that discontent and anger among party members were spreading in the comments.

It was pointed out that publicizing the progress of public opinion polls, especially how much of the regional and age-group quotas have been filled, is being exploited to induce organized fraudulent responses. The host explained, "Publicizing the current poll progress, how much of the regional and age-group quotas have been filled, is very important. This information is spread in an organized way, ultimately inducing Chungcheong supporters to respond in those empty regions and age groups."

This suggests that supporters of specific candidates check the remaining quotas to systematically preempt voting opportunities, leading to cases like the early closure of the Gwangju 50s male quota.

New 탐사 hosts pointed out the contradictory behavior of Sisa Tapa, which they claimed advocated for "one person, one vote" for a year but suddenly encouraged "one person, 80 votes" responses just before the national convention. They questioned this shift in stance, saying, "They constantly advocated for one person, one vote for a whole year. They kept talking about one person, one vote, but suddenly right before the national convention, they are talking about one person, 80 votes."

This suggests that there were organized instructions for a specific candidate, as evidenced by signs of poll response encouragement even on Choi Min-hee's Facebook page.

New 탐사 hosts pointed out that the expressions 'quick wit' and 'sense' used by Lee Jong-won of Sisa Tapa during broadcasts were effectively coded language to encourage fraudulent responses. They said, "If you want to show quick wit with sense... this seems to have been a kind of code. A cipher," asserting that these remarks served as secret messages instructing poll manipulation.

They also added that attempts were made to deliberately conceal facts, such as blocking chats when criticisms related to fraudulent elections arose.

The Sisa Tapa host made strong remarks, disregarding the authority of the Democratic Party's Election Management Committee. "What the hell is the DP Election Committee doing? A member of the National Assembly sets up a camp, and it's 'Pro-Lee is innocent, Anti-Lee is guilty.' The Election Committee should be grateful that I'm encouraging votes," he said, attempting to portray their fraudulent activities as vote encouragement.

This led to the interpretation that Lee Jong-won's side calculates that controversy over fraudulent elections will be buried if their candidate is elected party leader. Furthermore, the possibility of former Ethics Committee Chairman Han Dong-soo's tacit approval was mentioned, raising concerns about the fairness system within the Democratic Party.
