South Korea Sees Highest Voter Turn Out in 28 Years with 79.4% of Eligible People Voting

As usual Korea has a very impressive voter turn out for their Presidential election:

Voter turnout for South Korea’s presidential election on Tuesday hit a tentative 79.4 percent, the highest in 28 years, the election watchdog said.

Of the total 44.39 million eligible voters nationwide, 35.24 million cast their ballots until 8 p.m., the National Election Commission (NEC) said. 

This includes early voting that took place on Thursday and Friday with a turnout of 34.74 percent, as well as the ballots from overseas, shipboard and absentee voting.

The preliminary voter turnout marked the highest since the 80.7 percent tallied in the 1997 presidential election. Early voting was not held until the 2017 election. 

Tuesday’s vote to choose a successor to ousted former President Yoon Suk Yeol began at 6 a.m. at 14,295 polling stations nationwide. 

By region, the southwestern city of Gwangju, a stronghold for the liberal Democratic Party, recorded the highest turnout of 83.9 percent, with the southern Jeju Island logging the lowest at 74.6 percent. Voter turnout for Seoul was 80.1 percent.

ha ha , so predictable. “It was all FIXED!!! Look at Trump’s Jan 6, we must copy his tactics! Those Commies Fixed it!” Wake up idiot.

Now the retribution and housecleaning begins against those Martial Law Rebels who plotted (and still planning) to disband the National Assembly under the Dear Leader, Yoon Suk Yeol…. must now all be rounded up and punished for their crimes of treason.

The 61-year-old former human rights lawyer called Tuesday’s election “judgment day” against Yoon’s martial law and his People Power Party’s failure to stop the ill-fated move.

“The first mission is to decisively overcome insurrection and to ensure there will never be another military coup with guns and swords turned against the people,” Lee said in a victory speech outside parliament.

“The first mission is to decisively overcome insurrection and to ensure there will never be another military coup with guns and swords turned against the people,” Lee said in a victory speech outside parliament.

And so it begins.

It was not a military coup. There were no guns turned against the people of Korea. Very likely, not a single sword was involved.

This was government agaist corrupt government.

Corrupt government won.

Now, Korean nationalists and patriots will be purged and replaced with globalists, pro-Chinese, pro-North Korean, and others who do not have the same long-term goals but certainly share the short-term goal of disrupting Korean independence and success.

Small business, and the independence that comes with it, will be the first target.

Walk down the street and look at all the For Rent signs brought about by the Moon administration’s war against small business.

Lee has openly discussed doing the same thing.

But it doesn’t matter. Everybody smart saw this coming, studied a bit, and invested so that a Lee presidency would be a financial win.

This will affect the Little People but not the rich. They mostly don’t care about politics except as a game.

That’s your fist lesson on how to be rich.

The hard-working middle class may someday learn the redistributionists and the corporatists intend to exploit them and should never be voted into office.

But not my problem.
