To whom it may concern,

Korea had the presidential election on December 19. The strong man's daughter, Geun-hye Park, was elected. But many Koreans affirm that the election was fraudulent and illegal. Many kinds of evidence for the affirmation were found. The important evidence is the electronic ballot counting. The electronic ballot counting is obviously illegal. Agora is driving a signature-collecting campaign for the manual ballot counting. The zeal of the campaign has been as hot as to get 250,000 Koreans to sign for the campaign in just 9 days after the election. The Korean government controls the press. So the Korean do not have the freedom of the press. And the major newspapers and broadcasting stations do not gather or report news about the fraudulent and illegal election. I would like to earnestly ask the foreign newspapers and broadcasting stations to gather and report news about the fraudulent and illegal election. I am asking you to help in this way Korea and the Korean.

The Republic of Korea National Election Commission Must Answer
These Questions Regarding the 18th Presidential Election

- A Second Statement by Fellow South Koreans and Voters Overseas

As sovereignty rests with the people in a democratic society, the Koreans have the right and the duty to participate in a free and fair election and monitor its process. Yet, we have an overwhelming number of questions about the fairness and accuracy of the vote counting in the 18th presidential election. Despite these accusations, the Republic of Korea National Election Commission (NEC), which is supposed to speak for and protect the rights of the people of Korea, has chosen instead to conceal and tarnish the intention of the people with healthy doubts. The Korean population is in a deep sorrow and despair about the situation, and it is the responsibility of NEC to address these concerns and disclose any information to the people of Korea to ensure that the election was conducted in all fairness.

In their official statement published on Jan 1st, 2013, the NEC depreciated many Koreans like us who want the electoral transparency and accountability, by calling them ‘a group of people who deny the result of the election,’ and further presented a condescending statement that those should stop ‘trying to shake the basis of democracy.’ We articulate that this is nothing but an inappropriate and arrogant response from NEC, of which impartiality and fairness are expected as an independent regulatory agency. It is absolutely illogical for NEC to allege that we are requesting a recount without any objective evidence. Koreans raised reasonable questions based upon testimonies and evidence collected. NEC has record of all raw data, and thus it is the duty of NEC to investigate and evaluate all information to prove the integrity of the election. Therefore, we fellow Koreans and voters abroad demand that NEC carry out the following actions to restore its credibility.

1. It is the NEC’s job to help people exercise their sovereignty, through fair and reliable management of an election. We insist that the NEC should apologize for their overbearing and condescending attitude toward Koreans who raised reasonable questions. The fact itself that many Koreans are raising questions about an election can only be considered as proof of NEC’s failure to earn public trust, and thus NEC should feel rather ashamed and look back on their job execution to see if anything could have been conducted differently in order not to raise so many concerns.

2. If the NEC is indeed willing to accept the request to recount as they publicized on Jan 1st, 2013, they must immediately make the following information available, which would be much simpler and easier than recounting: the register of all voters, the list of the actual voters, voter data per region and age group, the record of ballot counting at each office including the log data for data transmission, NEC's tabulating record and submission record to mass media, and the reporting data of each public broadcasting company.

3. The differentiation between the terminology of ballot counter or a ballot separator should not be of great significance. The NEC has to stop playing with words and face the problem by immediately providing the software of the ballot counters used and also the source code of NEC's central tabulating system and reporting system. A thorough investigation of the accuracy and reliability of those machines and systems ought to be carried out by an independent third party, and the results should be reported to the public. In addition, the NEC must release all documentation regarding the justifiability of the use of an electronic ballot counting system or voting equipment.

4. The NEC claimed without any supporting evidence that the data from the central tabulator is not the final result and the data was inspected manually. If that is the case, NEC must to release the record of manual ballot counting and explain how it was possible then to announce the winner only three hours after the ballot counting started.

5. In order to verify NEC's claim, we would also like to review the record on whether or not and also how the vote and vote-counting observers were educated and trained on the ballot-counting process. We desire for the NEC to publicize the number of observers from each party at each vote-counting facility.

Again, all of the raw data is being kept and managed by NEC, and therefore it is NEC's job to prove the electoral transparency and accountability. We hereby sign this statement with the hope that NEC will regain Koreans' trust by withdrawing their authoritative attitude and releasing all related information for it is the right of the Republic of Korea and its people to have access to this information.
