Checked 12 polling stations. There were 12,343 electors, 8,148 voters, 4,192 unused votes, 235 invalid votes, 3 received but not voted votes, only 10 disputed votes, and 4,272 votes with Zhou Chunmi Su Qingquan won 3,273 votes, Zhou Chunmi won 999 votes, the difference is not big, and the actual situation of the 10 disputed votes has to be determined by the collegiate judges.

Su Qingquan was very angry with the results of the ballot checking. He stated that he wanted to check the votes of 127 polling stations with problems in Pingtung County, but the judge ruled to inspect 12 polling stations. He did not feel the fairness and justice of the judge. File a criminal complaint.

Zhou Chunmi said that since a judicial lawsuit is filed, she must trust the judiciary and give the judiciary independent trial space. She respects the results of today's vote checking and emphasizes that the judiciary will not serve any individual's needs. The gentleman's demeanor of accepting defeat should not be provoked repeatedly, causing confrontation, or even doubting the fairness of judicial independence if it does not meet expectations. This is a negative example for society. It's a pity, but it will also let the county people see through the trick!
