"The devil that pollutes elections builds its fortress with the alluring masks of ‘democracy and cutting-edge technology’ and the protection of law, while the angel who seeks to protect the transparency and justice of elections approaches with the face of a cold judge, boldly exposing the contradictions of the system." 

The curtain has risen on early voting. Analyzing the realm of ‘elections,’ often called the heart of democracy, reveals that the confrontation between good and evil is not so simple. The devil that pollutes elections builds its fortress with the alluring masks of ‘democracy and cutting-edge technology’ and the protection of law, while the angel who seeks to protect the transparency and justice of elections approaches with the face of a cold judge, boldly exposing the contradictions of the system. 

Peering deeply into the essence of devils and angels, we can discover an interesting law: the devil’s ‘deceptive duality’ to hide the destruction of national sovereignty, and the angel’s resolute ‘ambivalence’ in saving and protecting electoral justice.

1. The Duality of the Election Fraud Devil: Usurping Sovereignty Under the Guise of ‘Democracy’

The devil artfully employs ‘duality in means’ to conceal its objective of ‘eradicating sovereignty.’ The election fraud devil never presents itself as cheating and dictatorship. Instead, it appears with the righteous and convenient mask of ‘promoting public convenience’ and ‘swift vote counting.’

Unable to shine its own light, the devil lays its eggs like a cuckoo in the nest of the election management system, corroding it from within. Despite the stigma of being a "family company," it wears the garb of a state institution, establishing unverified electronic equipment and opaque computer networks to distort the will of the people.

The slogan they put forward is the hypocritical cry of "an IT election of the highest global standards." They attempt to silence any questioning of fraudulent elections by labeling them as "conspiracy theories" and justifying their opaque systems. While they outwardly whisper of blooming the flowers of democracy, their ultimate goal is the annihilation of the principle of popular sovereignty and the downfall of usurping power.

2. The Ambivalence of the Fair Election Angel: A Cold Flaming Sword and the Salvation of True Public Will

The consistency of the angel seeking to protect electoral justice lies in the unwavering defense of ‘principles and transparency.’ While a gentle smile encouraging the exercise of sovereignty through voting is one facet of the angel, the image of a resolute warrior installing a guillotine and wielding a massive flaming sword against signs of fraud and manipulation is also the angel's essence.

True election angels, even under pressure from the election fraud cartel, do not hesitate to offer sharp criticism for the survival of the community. They demand of the public, trapped by the lure of convenience, "Even if it's inconvenient, manual counting must be done," rigorously pushing the principle that votes must be verified by human eyes, even if it means staying up all night, rather than immediate comfort.

Compared to the devils protected by law, the angels' claims may seem powerless, but they do not cease their resolve to protect the sanctity of public will, the foundation of the state. No matter how sharp the angel's resolute surveillance blade, the election fraud cartel, which would lose everything if they stopped once they started, will never stop even when all signs of manipulation are revealed.

3. Early Voting and Vote Counting Manipulation: The Comprehensive Deception of International Election Fraud Devils

Early voting (mail-in voting) and real-time vote counting manipulation are the ‘comprehensive deception and manipulation’ perpetrated by international election fraud devils. The devils paralyze public judgment and reason through opinion manipulation, then turn the vote counting site into a devil's laboratory through vote counting manipulation.

To deceive public eyes, they deceive by calling the ‘transparent pedestals’ of ballot boxes advanced, and disguise the unlawful ‘printing of election official seals’ as administrative convenience. They even gaslight the public with the bizarre logic of "special paper with excellent resilience" when perfectly crisp ballots, devoid of fold marks, poured out.

However, the truth hidden behind the sweet anesthetic of "advanced computing" can never be concealed. Proof of trampled public will, such as unusually sized ballots like cabbage leaves, arrow-shaped ballots, and uncut continuous ballots, along with abnormal figures that mock the laws of statistics, have been pouring out as if bleeding.

We can no longer tolerate or permit this horrific fraud where sovereignty evaporates into phantom numbers in a computer room, deceiving human eyes and bypassing the personal seals of election officials. We must end this unprecedented fraud that usurps sovereignty by being deceived by a fake election system capable of manipulation, and now, with the ‘hammer of justice,’ boldly tear down the tower of lies.

4. Exorcism of Election Fraud: Capture the Devil's Tail in the Field

It is too late to advocate for principled electoral system reform; the dice have already been cast. Now is the time when we need the strong will and keen eyes of real warriors who will snatch the devil's tail in the field. Grand slogans are a luxury. The moment we step into the polling station, we must all become fierce monitors.

Poll watchers, look at the hands of the election officials. With sharp eyes, confirm whether they are stamping their personal seals or using printed fake seals. Observers must shadow the ballot boxes from the moment they are moved and stored, without allowing even a minute or second of gap.

Vote counting observers on June 3rd, capture the condition of the ballots. If stacks of paper boxes are inserted instead of ballot boxes, or if crisp ballots like new currency or other irregularities that defy common sense are found, evidence must be immediately documented with photos and videos. Do not leave the site or fall asleep until the counting is complete.

Thorough surveillance and on-site evidence collection until the final tally of the June 3rd local elections is complete is the only practical exorcism to protect sovereignty. Now, we must expose election fraud and firmly rebuild the fence of the great community that is the Republic of Korea. Our wide-open eyes are justice, and the evidence from the field is the flaming sword of the angel striking down the devil.
