[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] Some members of the United Future Party, including Min Kyung-wook and Lee Eon-ju, are raising suspicions that the early voting in the April 15 general election was manipulated. They have consecutively filed applications for evidence preservation and have begun procedures to secure evidence. The controversy over allegations of election fraud is expected to be resolved in court.

On the 11th, United Future Party lawmaker Min Kyung-wook claimed to have obtained a large batch of early voting ballots from the general election and asserted that this was evidence of fraudulent counting. He also said, "There is a story that will turn the world upside down, there is evidence."

At the 'April 15 General Election Suspicion Fact-Finding and National Sovereignty Restoration Rally' held in the National Assembly Members' Office Building conference room that day, Min claimed, "There are proportional representation ballots found in bulk without the election supervisor's seal and without being marked," and then revealed them.

He said that early voting ballots are printed each time a voter arrives, so no extra ballots are produced, and that the fact he secured these ballots itself is evidence of 'manipulation.'

On the afternoon of the 11th, at the National Assembly Members' Office Building in Yeouido, Seoul, during the rally for uncovering the truth behind the April 15 general election suspicions and restoring national sovereignty, Min Kyung-wook, a member of the United Future Party, claimed that shredded ballots were found in front of a post office in Gyeonggi-do.

Min showed shredded paper contained in a plastic bag and claimed, "These are early voting ballots shredded along with envelopes found in front of a post office in Gyeonggi Province," adding, "Someone shredded ballots that had been voted."

However, it has not been confirmed whether the paper Min revealed is actually a ballot.

He also claimed that ballots from the Seocho-eul district in Seoul were found in Bundang-eul, Gyeonggi Province.

Additionally, he released an anonymous audio recording suggesting that the ballot sorting machines used in counting could communicate externally, urging verification of the sorting machines.

Meanwhile, the Busan Election Commission announced on the 11th that the evidence preservation requested by United Future Party candidate Lee Eon-ju was accepted on the 4th.

The Busan District Court Eastern Branch completed the sealing of evidence at the Nam-gu Election Commission on the 7th in response to Lee's evidence preservation request.

In the last general election, Lee lost by a margin of 1,430 votes to Park Jae-ho of the Democratic Party, who received 41,005 votes. The difference in early voting was 5,242 votes.

Not only Lee but also United Future Party candidates who lost in Busan Saha-gu and Yeongdeungpo-eul have consecutively filed evidence preservation requests.

The evidence preservation request for early voting boxes filed by Kim Cheok-su, the United Future Party candidate who lost by 697 votes in Busan Saha-gu Gap, was also accepted.

Earlier, on the 1st, the evidence preservation request of Park Yong-chan, the United Future Party candidate who lost by 5,538 votes to Kim Min-seok of the Democratic Party in Yeongdeungpo-eul, Seoul, was accepted.

United Future Party lawmaker Min Kyung-wook also submitted an evidence preservation application to the Incheon District Court on the 27th of last month.

Regarding this, Judge Ahn Min-young of the Civil Division 35 of Incheon District Court accepted the evidence preservation verification for 17 out of 27 items requested by Min, including ballot boxes, election papers, and closed-circuit (CCTV) footage.

An evidence preservation application is a legal procedure to secure evidence in advance before filing a lawsuit. As the court consecutively accepts evidence preservation applications, the controversy over election fraud is expected to be ultimately resolved in court.

According to Article 223 of the Public Official Election Act, a candidate who disputes the election result can request a recount within 30 days after the winner is determined.

Such early voting manipulation suspicions are also continuously raised among conservative-leaning YouTubers.

On the 17th of last month, the YouTube channel 'Garo Sero Research Institute,' operated by lawyer Kang Yong-seok and others, released a video titled 'Early Voting Manipulation Suspicion, the Secret of 0.39.' Subsequently, channels like 'Gong Byung-ho TV' and 'Shinui Hansu' made claims suggesting early voting manipulation.

Meanwhile, a representative of the Central Election Commission told Yonhap News Agency, "Normally, ballots are stored by the election commission or the court," adding, "It will be necessary to verify whether what Min presented is indeed an actual ballot and, if so, which region it is from."
