Having discussed opinion manipulation and election fraud multiple times, this time we will examine the issues with exit polls.

Exit polls have very high reliability because they are conducted by surveying voters who have just finished voting at polling stations, outside the 50m restricted area, and only for 'in-person voting' on election day. The sample size is also much larger compared to regular opinion polls.

The core issue is that exit polls can only target 'in-person voting' and cannot directly survey 'early voting.' With early voting accounting for approximately 45% of the total voter turnout, a partial exit poll that excludes this segment cannot guarantee accuracy.

In particular, a significant portion of the public believes that early voting is a breeding ground for election fraud, leading to campaigns encouraging 'in-person voting' and boycotts of early voting.

There is no basis to claim that the Democratic Party of Korea consistently leads the People Power Party in early voting. On the contrary, it is logical to expect the People Power Party to lead based on age-group turnout.

For early voting, since voters cannot be surveyed directly, telephone surveys are used as a substitute. This not only undermines the original intent of exit polls but also raises serious questions. Where does the survey agency obtain information that the surveyed voter participated in early voting?

I am convinced that this information is provided by the National Election Commission. If early voters can be pre-identified via QR codes, and it is possible to know which party or candidate they voted for, this is a clear violation of the principle of secret ballots.

The National Election Commission, a criminal organization that brainwashes the public through opinion manipulation surveys and quasi-exit polls, and ultimately concludes with election fraud, must be disbanded.
