Korea Electoral Fraud 2025 : France Shows Ballots, South Korea Hides Them
Manual vs. electronic vote counting sparks global contrast
 

In France, citizens drop paper ballots into transparent boxes, and the votes are counted by hand in the open. Results are verified immediately in the presence of observers.

In contrast, South Korea relies heavily on pre-voting (early voting) and electronic tabulation, often away from public view. The vote count is uploaded after being processed by machines, and access to the backend data is denied to independent observers.

Lee Young-don TV’s documentary compares the two systems and questions why South Korea—despite being a high-tech nation—refuses basic transparency measures practiced in countries like France.

Calls are growing for South Korea to abandon or reform its opaque digital systems and return to manual, observable ballot processing to restore public trust.

Based on Lee Young-don TV’s YouTube report “6.3 대선은 무효다” (June 5, 2025).
