The results of the 2024 presidential election are in, but TikTok and other social media outlets have circulated videos accusing the election of voter fraud. Even the Internet celebrity “Alyssa”, who actively expressed her support for Ke Wenzhe, jumped ship because Ke Wenzhe lost about 1.89 million votes for Lai Qingde. When she questioned “choose”, she later admitted that she was wrong, “the word ‘choose’ is an inappropriate word, and I’m sorry.” However, it has sparked discussions among netizens. In this regard, the Central Election Commission held a press conference today (15th) in which it stated that there will be fraud in the handling of this election, as rumored by some people on the Internet. Fraud in the election, the presidential candidates are urged to attend to keep the law. File an election lawsuit; and as long as the court finds that the election agency illegally manipulated votes, the chairman and deputy chairman of the Central Election Commission will resign Show responsibility!
The Central Election Commission also stated that there are still certain Internet celebrities who continue to spread rumors, and also called on the public to help collect evidence of their malicious rumors, which will then be investigated by the Central Election Commission and the local election committee compiled would be handed over to the prosecutors, police and judicial authorities to investigate and investigate in accordance with the law. Finally, Chairman Li Jinyong and Vice Chairman Chen Chaojian of the Central Election Commission vouch that all election officials are law-abiding and independent of party affiliation. There is absolutely no possibility of illegal voting in Taiwan’s democratic elections, as election agencies are run by local governments with different parties. Working with the government, all 200,000 to 300,000 poll workers work regardless of party affiliation and are primarily civil servants across the country. There are also full voting procedures. For example, there are inspectors responsible for monitoring voting in election offices. And it is composed of representatives of major political parties such as the Kuomintang, the Democratic Progressive Party and the People’s Party in accordance with the law.
The winning committee will clarify the specific videos as follows:
1. A 49-second video of the voting operations of No. 146 Election Office in Pingtung City, Pingtung County uploaded online
illustrate:
1. Before voting, the 146th polling station took out the floorboard and displayed the blank ballot papers for inspection by the public and two inspectors in accordance with the regulations. The ballots were confirmed to be blank and the floor seal was issued and the seal was affixed to the blank ballots. Should someone be there? A member of the public asked that the presidential card be turned over again to show whether the bottom seal was actually sealed. The respondent asked that the seal was not firmly attached and used both hands to press firmly on the seal at the bottom of the ticket as the inner bottom plate is not designed for attachment and adhesion. If people press on it from below, the inner base plate may shift. After the ticket ring is straightened, the bottom plate may get stuck due to friction and remain in the original position without returning to the ground, creating a “compartment” similar to the inside of the ticket ring.”, the invested votes will be naturally in the distributed inside.
2. As the number of voters subsequently increased, the looseness of ballot papers affected ballot entry. Therefore, the inspector was asked to compact the ballot papers downwards using a long ruler. The base plate that formed the “compartment” was also pushed back downwards, resulting in some ballots being suppressed. downwards, which leads to misunderstandings.
3. In addition, the ballot paper was turned upside down during the counting of votes so that the people observing the counting of votes on site could clearly see that the ballot papers were taken from inside the ballot box and counted.
4. The results are “No. 1 Ke Wenzhe: 104 votes”, “No. 2 Lai Qingde: 250 votes”, “No. 3 Hou Youyi 203 votes”. The actual number of valid votes is 557, which is consistent with the final total number of votes.
2. Excerpt from the online ticket slip “Vote dumping by Blue and Green? After the package was collected on site, Blue and Green each lost 100 votes”?
illustrate:
1. The ticket extract from Chacha website is from Hsinchu City Election Committee, North District No. 256 of Hsinchu City. The Hsinchu City Election Committee restored the results of the January 13 vote count, pointing out that it was actually the poll clerks who had accidentally miscalculated the total count. Therefore, presidential candidates #2 and #3 received an additional 100 votes. However, the people present monitoring the vote reminded her and corrected it immediately.
2. The Hsinchu City Election Committee pointed out that after the opening of voting, the election staff and election officials will check and confirm that the total number of votes, the number of votes collected, the number of votes cast and other data are consistent. Upon final certification, there were no errors in the number of votes for each candidate at the polling station, there were no problems with the counting of votes, and there was no voting at all by election officials.
3. According to the WEC vote counting system and a comparison of the votes counted at the polling station: “No. 1 Ke Wenzhe: 312 votes”, “No. 2 Lai Qingde: 274 votes”, “No. 3 Hou.”Youyi: 276 votes” and the screenshots. The revised figures on the tally agree.
3. A video circulating on the Internet “I keep calling Ke Wenzhe, but no one who marked the ticket marked the number 1”?
illustrate:
1. According to the content of the video, it is from the polling station in the Third District of New Taipei City. The video shows election workers opening ballots for the president and vice president, but if you listen to the audio you can notice that the vote counting is mixed with the sound of another group of vote counting workers.
2. Therefore the “No. 1” can often be heard in the online videos, some are “No. 1 Ke Wenzhe” on the presidential ticket and some are “No. Rumors say that the two are confused and mistaken. This is called voting.
4. A Douyin video was distributed at polling station No. 1355 in Taoyuan City (Grade 1, Grade 2, Huaxun Elementary School, Zhongli District). Before the vote, the chief administrator announced that the number of votes collected was 987, but the actual number of votes not cast was 1,081.
illustrate:
1. Regarding the case reported on the Internet that the “number of people receiving tickets” and the “voting results” announced by a certain ticket office in this city do not match, after an investigation by this association, it was confirmed that it is 1355 was a ticket office in Zhongli District.
2. After the office learned what happened to the chief administrator of the office, it asked the employees, before counting the votes, to count the number of people who collected their votes for each election, the number of people who collected their Collected, announced and counted votes in accordance with the regulations. Due to a personnel error, the previously announced number of people who received their votes for the presidential and vice-presidential elections did not correspond to the results.
3. According to the provisions of the “Manual for Voting Counting Station Personnel”, the director of the polling station must announce the number of voters before the counting of votes begins. The counting results should be calculated after all votes have been cast. The voting report form is decisive.
4. In this case, polling station 1355 examined, counted and counted the votes individually in accordance with the regulations and carried out the voting and counting operations in accordance with the standard operating procedures. During the counting of votes, the public could attend the counting of votes, supervisors recommended by the parties were present to monitor and the entire process was open to the public. Transparent so there is no doubt about the results of the vote.
5. In summary, in this case, if the number of people receiving votes does not match the number of voting results, according to the above regulations, the “voting and counting report form should be prepared after all the electoral votes were submitted”. used as standard. From now on, we will continue to strengthen training and further education to improve the quality of our election work!
5. The video posted on the Internet “This is Taiwan’s choice. Call #1 and pull #2…there will be big problems with manual vote verification.”?
illustrate:
1. The polling location for the online video is the 1340th polling location “Huweili Activity Center” in East District, Tainan. The Tainan City Election Committee confirmed to the polling station on the evening of January 13 that it was indeed reported during the election process that presidential candidates No. 1 and No. 3 had received additional votes, but this was later corrected. At the end, the vote counters recalculate and check whether the votes were incorrectly calculated. After the final verification, the recorded votes are correct.
2. In the video you can see the scene where the cashier calls number one and draws number two, but there are two cut marks in the middle, which is not a smooth, continuous scene.
6. A rumor is circulating on the Internet: “Those who want to contribute votes are here again! Is the ballot box a paper ballot box and the bottom can still be easily dismantled?”?
Note: To facilitate storage and transportation, cardboard boxes have been used since 2014. Before voting, each polling station will publicly inspect the ballot box and have people on site check it. After confirming that there is no problem, the bottom of the ballot box is sealed with a seal. After voting ends, people present can monitor the counting of votes and check whether the ballot boxes are empty. Therefore, the rumor that “cardboard boxes are used for filling out and voting votes” is unfounded.
7. It is reported on the Internet that the cashier at the 418th polling station in Changhua County sang No. 3 for 1 vote, but the cashier registered it as No. 2?
illustrate:
1. The video appears to have been edited.
2. The election office staff follows the procedures for checking, counting, tallying and tallying votes.
3. After all votes have been counted, the number of votes for each candidate or political party will be recalculated in collaboration with the inspector. If the number of votes recorded on the ballot paper is correct, the number is entered on the vote count report form after verification.
