View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Lee Jun-seok, the Supreme Council Member of the Future United Party, publicly proposed a debate on the 18th with Min Kyung-wook, a United Party lawmaker who claims manipulation in the April 15 general election early voting.
On the afternoon of the same day, Lee posted on his Facebook, saying, "I heard that a debate about the voting conspiracy theory was planned with me on a terrestrial broadcasting debate program. Please answer the phone."
He added, "Why does someone from terrestrial broadcasting only go to YouTube even when the stage is set on terrestrial broadcasting?" and "I heard you couldn't answer the phone. Should I call again?"
Earlier, on the 14th, Lee appeared on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' and said, "If Rep. Min had suspicions, I tried to resolve them by talking and called many times at the end of last month. (Rep. Min's) phone was off, and he didn't answer."
He also emphasized regarding the early voting manipulation allegations made by Rep. Min, "The party leadership concluded that there is no basis," and "In the case of Rep. Min, it seems he is independently raising his suspicions with YouTube channels, unrelated to the party. It is a judgment he can make as an individual, but the party has no intention to support or sympathize with that."
On the 11th, Rep. Min revealed early voting ballots as "evidence of claims that this general election was fraudulent."

He claimed, "A large number of proportional voting ballots without the election manager's seal and unmarked were found," and "There is a possibility of mass mixed ballots in this general election. An investigation should be conducted." However, contrary to Rep. Min's claim, the ballots in question are known to be regular voting ballots, not early voting ballots.
