Digital fraud in the South Korean general election? Possibility of Chinese manipulation in the vote-counting machines
(1 Jun) South Korea's general election in April was a landslide victory for President Moon Jae-in's ruling Democratic Party. But since then, there have been allegations of election fraud.
According to East Asia Research, the election fraud is related to digital fraud. It is suspected that the vote-counting machines, computer hardware and software, as well as information network telecom equipment manufactured by China's Huawei Technologies, had been tampered with. There are also suspicions on the QR codes used for mail-in votes and early ballots.
East Asia Research said that the instructions needed to operate the vote-counting machines “can come from the QR codes on the early-vote ballots as they are counted, or it can also be sent from an external source to the vote-counting server via the Internet”.
The National Election Commission chose LG U+ 5G, which uses Huawei equipment, as the wireless network for pre-vote ballots. East Asia Research said that “servers used at the election sites could be connected to servers in China, and the user on the Chinese end could access the vote-counting machines”.
