The Election Commission pre-registered the number of voters for 117 locations

[26.08.10] Rep. Joo Jin-woo: "NEC Input Voter Turnout 1.5 Hours Early... 'Time Machine' Manipulation in Past Elections"

Rep. Joo Jin-woo of the People Power Party (PPP), a member of the parliamentary special investigation committee, has raised explosive allegations that the National Election Commission (NEC) engaged in 'Time Machine Manipulation' by inputting hourly voter turnout numbers up to 1.5 hours in advance. In an emergency press conference on the 9th, Rep. Joo revealed that such fraudulent data entries were discovered not only in the recent June 3 local elections but also in past presidential and general elections, urging an immediate expansion of the investigation and the appointment of a special counsel.

1. "Are They From the Future?" Voter Numbers Entered 1.5 Hours Ahead of Time

Based on 'hourly server input time' data obtained from the NEC, Rep. Joo disclosed that turnout data was entered more than an hour ahead of the actual time in 117 voting districts. Specifically, 47 districts were flagged in the June 3 local elections, 26 in the past presidential election, and 44 in the 2024 general elections.

The factual details are shocking. During the June 3 local elections, the voter turnout data designated for '1:00 PM' at certain voting stations in Haan 4-dong, Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province, was officially registered into the system at '11:28:25 AM'. Similarly, during the presidential election, data for '4:00 PM' in Jungnim-dong, Seoul, was inputted at '2:31 PM', and during the general elections, final '6:00 PM' data for stations in Cheongju, North Chungcheong, was recorded at '4:30 PM'.

Rep. Joo officially exposed these facts during an emergency press conference on "Time Machine Manipulation in Local, Presidential, and General Elections" held at the National Assembly Communication Center that morning. He strongly criticized the NEC, pointing out that the advance input of hourly turnout rates was not a simple data correction mistake but a "pre-planned fraud," and accused them of thoroughly mocking the public and the candidates who anxiously watched the turnout trends.

1:00 PM Data Inputted at 11:28 AM! Rep. Joo condemned the blatant data manipulation, stating, "Unless NEC employees have a time machine, inputting numbers from the future is physically impossible."

2. 'Twin Voting Districts' with Exact Same Second Inputs... Signs of Systemic Fraud

These false data entries appear to be more than just simple timing errors; they strongly suggest systematic manipulation. According to Rep. Joo's revelations, there were multiple instances where the initial data entry times for different voting stations under the same administrative committee matched perfectly, down to the exact second.

Furthermore, the data exposed 14 abnormal cases, including 'shutdown districts' where the voter count suddenly stopped increasing entirely (0 increase), and 'twin districts' that showed the exact same numerical increase as other districts. This strongly implies that local poll workers didn't input the data manually, but rather that data for multiple districts was fraudulently generated and bulk-saved to the servers centrally.

Additionally, Rep. Joo highlighted the structural flaws within the NEC's internal computer system as factual evidence of the problem's severity. He pointed out the "incredibly backward system" where anyone with access rights can input future voting data in advance without triggering any system warnings or sanctions. Because of this weak structure, he analyzed that it would have been easy to commit the crime of inserting false numbers beforehand and then retroactively matching the total count when voting ended.

Systemic False Inputs, Not Simple Mistakes! Input times matching down to the second and identical voter increases suggest an organized effort to manipulate data in bulk.

3. "Expand Investigation to Presidential and General Elections and Initiate Search & Seizure"

Rep. Joo strongly urged the joint police-prosecution investigation team to expand its scope beyond the local elections. He warned that "the NEC's repeated and organized crimes have now been proven," adding that internal evidence destruction has likely already begun.

He also expressed strong skepticism regarding the ongoing negotiations between ruling and opposition parties to 'recount' paper ballots stored at Olympic Park. Joo stated, "With the NEC's widespread illegality, how can the public trust a superficial process where committee members merely look over shoulders to recount 2.47 million ballots?" He demanded a thorough inspection and search-and-seizure of the actual 'NEC servers', keeping the possibility of deliberate vote-share manipulation entirely open.

Immediately following the press conference, Rep. Joo told reporters that "the NEC has reigned without any supervision for decades, making them excessively audacious," and strongly demanded the 'arrest and investigation' of all individuals involved. To further galvanize public opinion, he also hosted a live broadcast that day on his personal YouTube channel, "Joo Jin-woo's Issue Commentary," under the title "[LIVE] Commentary on Time Machine Manipulation in Local, Presidential, and General Elections."

Fears of Evidence Destruction, Demands for Coercive Investigation! Rep. Joo stressed the need to move past visual recounts and directly seize and investigate the election servers covering past presidential and general elections.

4. PPP: "Open All Electronic Records... Core Target for Upcoming Special Counsel"

The People Power Party officially intensified the offensive. PPP Chief Spokesperson Choi Bo-yoon released a commentary on the same day, pressuring the NEC to "open all electronic records of past elections and prove yourselves before the public."

Choi supported expanding the investigation, stating, "We must verify whether this 'number-matching' method was repeated in past elections." She further emphasized that "if it was possible to insert false figures for voter turnout without leaving a trace, there is no reason to exclude the process of inputting candidates' vote counts from verification." She declared this must be the core focus of the upcoming special counsel investigation into the NEC.

Chief Spokesperson Choi clearly stated that the investigation must go beyond merely analyzing visible server access logs. She urged the joint investigation team to conduct a comprehensive audit that includes not only the NEC's internal messengers but also specific instruction and reporting documents exchanged between superiors and subordinates. This demand was based on the factual necessity of securing critical physical evidence of internal communication networks and command structures to uncover the true nature of the vote manipulation.

Lost Trust Cannot be Fixed by Saying "Trust Us"! The PPP demanded a complete audit of server logs and internal communications, arguing that if turnout numbers were manipulated, vote shares could be too.

[Key Summary] 5 Points on the NEC 'Time Machine' Controversy

• 1. Pre-inputting Future Data: Voter counts for 1:00 PM were entered into the server at 11:28 AM, exposing advance false entries.
• 2. Widespread Across Major Elections: Fraudulent entries were discovered not just in recent local elections, but in 117 locations across past presidential and general elections.
• 3. Systemic 'Number Matching': Identical input times down to the second and mirrored data increases indicate bulk, organized manipulation rather than local errors.
• 4. Refusal of Superficial Recounts: The PPP insists that visually counting paper ballots is useless and demands a coercive investigation into the servers to check for vote-share manipulation.
• 5. Party-Level Pressure for Special Counsel: The PPP argued that if turnout data was manipulated, candidate vote totals could also be compromised, demanding full transparency of electronic records, command documents, and a special counsel probe.
