[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] On the 7th, Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the Future United Party, criticized some conservative YouTubers who raised allegations of early voting manipulation, saying they are "underestimating the Republic of Korea too much."

In a post on his Facebook on the same day, Rep. Ha said, "The biggest problem with the claim that the vote was manipulated is that they cannot distinguish between the administration and the state."

He continued, "Just as Korea's quarantine was world top-class, the election management system is also globally top," adding, "These infrastructures are systems that Korea has built since past conservative administrations and are assets of the Republic of Korea."

He said, "Both the medical system and the election system do not collapse even if the administration changes," and added, "Most of the bureaucrats who maintain these systems are competent and diligent people."

He emphasized, "There are claims that everything can be manipulated when the administration changes, but the Korean system is not that sloppy," and "Conservative innovation must start from not denying the great achievements of Korea that conservatives have built together."

Rep. Ha also said, "Many YouTube debaters are refuting the claims that the voting results were manipulated. For conservative innovation, such heated debates must take place," calling it "a signal flare for conservative innovation."

Earlier, on the 22nd of last month, Rep. Ha also criticized the early voting manipulation allegations through his Facebook. He pointed out, "After the crushing defeat in the general election, rumors of vote manipulation are spreading even to the political circles, but we must not be deceived by behaviors that block conservative renewal and promote division."

He added, "Rumors are not conservative. Our society has experienced serious national division and conflict due to rumors like mad cow disease and the Cheonan ship incident," and said, "However, some conservatives are raising even worse vote manipulation rumors after the crushing defeat in the general election."
