The first-ever whistleblower confession has emerged from a current National Election Commission (NEC) official, claiming that Wi-Fi was used to conduct nationwide early voting during the June 3rd local elections.

In an interview broadcast by Lee Young-don TV on the 16th, NEC employee Kim Seung-soo (alias, 42) stated, "Early voting is absolutely impossible without using communication equipment; it's an emergency situation," delivering this shocking testimony.

This internal whistleblowing directly contradicts the NEC's official stance, which has maintained that the election network is completely separated from external internet networks, thus preventing external hacking.

Kim revealed, "I heard from the person in charge that we had no choice but to conduct elections via Wi-Fi, not only in my district but nationwide," adding, "There are records in my group chat of conducting early voting via Wi-Fi."

Possibility of Hacking "Exists"... "Person in Charge Could Not Identify Out-of-District Early Voters" 

He also acknowledged the possibility of external hacking.

When specifically asked by PD Lee Young-don, Kim replied, "That's what we're looking at," and continued, "The National Intelligence Service already confirmed through security checks that hacking is too easy," adding, "I was able to confirm this as an on-site staff member."

He also testified about structural flaws and the potential for manipulation in the early voting system.

Kim revealed, "Out-of-district early voters only appear as numbers on the terminal," and stated, "For example, when a Jeju resident votes early outside of Jeju, even the person in charge cannot identify them."

This means that even if they could be identified, they would only appear as numbers on the screen, making it virtually impossible for anyone to know precisely who is voting where and how nationwide.

He also mentioned that under such a system, employees are solely focused on reconciling numbers.

He recalled with astonishment, "If 5,000 people voted early out-of-district in a certain area, 5,000 ballots should arrive, but only 4,990 arrived. Even then, the supervisor told us to just close it as is." He continued, "It should have been recorded as 10 short, but I confirmed that the vote counting system showed no errors and the numbers matched perfectly."

The fact that NEC officials do not count the number of early voters was also revealed for the first time.

Kim said, "I used to wonder how the number of attendees was checked on the early voting roster."

He added, "There is no one counting how many people came and went on site," and "We cannot do our jobs without believing that the numbers provided by the machines, the numbers displayed on the system, represent the actual number of ballots issued."

It is also shocking that no one knows where or how the data displayed on the computer system originates.

He confessed for the first time, "I don't think the number is entered by the early voting manager," and "If they had entered it, they would have entered the numbers shown on the registration terminal." This suggests that the discrepancy does not originate from the early voting station.

When PD Lee asked if the problem was that they didn't know where the numbers on the registration terminal came from, Kim repeatedly confirmed, "Yes, that's how we see it."

This means that even when the NEC denies any inflation of early votes, a current NEC official admits that there was no self-counted data on-site.

Kim also expressed doubts about the early voting results but stated that he himself did not know the exact cause.

When PD Lee asked why he believed early voting consistently favored one side, he replied, "I'm baffled by that too," and stated, "When you look at early votes alone, the Democratic Party is always dominant, and when you look at the regular ballots, the People Power Party is dominant. I thought there was a significant problem."

He continued, "What's more, this time the number of early voters was the same in several constituencies. That's illogical." He added, "I wonder if it's possible to input them identically through the system, but I'm frustrated because I don't know exactly how it's done."

He further expressed his opinion, "I believe it's possible to confirm later, through barcodes, who voted and who they voted for in early voting." He concluded, "The most fair election can be achieved if early voting is abolished."

Kim's testimony regarding the possibility of inserting physical ballots in his interview with Lee Young-don TV that day also offered various insights.

He stated that while he did not witness the insertion of ballots that had been personally marked, he was shocked by the employees' lack of guilt.

Kim recounted, "I saw a bundle of 'regular ballots without serial numbers' being taken out of a cabinet that employees rarely use," and "I was very surprised that they were in the office."

He also added, "During the practice phase, the early voting manager's stamp and a 'practice' stamp should be printed, but it was possible to print them even without the 'practice stamp' marking."

He then testified that the political bias of NEC employees he experienced was evident. He stated, "I often heard them say things like, 'President Lee Jae-myung is doing such a good job. The Democratic Party is doing such a good job. Those people are far-right, that's why they're like this,' to disparage them."

According to Kim's testimony, the identity verification process at the polling stations was extremely lax.

He said, "Even if an expired ID or a membership card issued by a private organization was presented, as long as the name was written clearly, a ballot was issued," adding that this was presented in lieu of a resident registration card or passport.

This implies that a sophisticated verification system to prevent proxy voting or duplicate voting using forged identification is effectively not functioning.

Data "Post-Edited" Upon Parliamentary Request... "Input to Match Numbers Given by Superiors to Close" 

Under the Public Official Election Act, it is prohibited to arbitrarily alter the computer-recorded voting results after the vote count is completed and the competent NEC has made the final announcement.

However, Kim revealed that the nationwide vote counting system was reopened under the direction of the NEC on June 10th, a week after the election, in response to requests for data submission from the National Assembly.

This means that the computer network was reopened afterwards to forcibly align the numbers in the computer system with the numbers in the actual voting records, which were inconsistent.

He specifically revealed the absurd reality, stating, "During the process of entering the number of voters into the computer by the hour, we had inputted a large number of voters at 5 p.m. (before closing), but when 6 p.m. arrived, we couldn't fill the numbers." He continued, "So, we reduced the numbers in other constituencies and adjusted the numbers for the constituency that had a higher input."

Kim also mentioned the specific method of error correction.

He recalled, "I heard a colleague on the phone with an official from the provincial NEC, who is their superior, and they just entered the numbers given by that person to close the count." He added, "It was something I couldn't understand at all."

Kim commented, "I believe that if the shortage of ballots had not occurred this time, there wouldn't be as many demands for election fraud and re-elections as there are now." He concluded, "It's like crying but getting hit; I think it has ingrained in the younger generation that the NEC's decisive election fraud is certain."

With specific testimony secured from an insider within the NEC, public pressure demanding a rigorous investigation into the entire national election system and accountability is expected to intensify.

PD Lee delivered the closing remarks, stating, "Mr. Kim Seung-soo says that early voting, especially out-of-district early voting of nearly 4 million votes, is truly a blind election." He added, "The number of out-of-district early voters can only depend on the numbers uploaded to the system by superiors, and he says this is the root cause of election fraud."
