◇Anchor> There was also an interesting phenomenon in the vote-counting process of the U.S. presidential election, which was called a red mirage phenomenon. It is said that Trump is dominant in the red color during the main vote count, but this advantage disappears as the early vote count progresses. Do you think this phenomenon is likely to be reproduced in this election?

◆Park Hong-min> In 2020 and 2022, such phenomena were seen. This is a problem caused by the regulation that states must count when counting votes. It was a phenomenon that occurred because early voting or mail voting was counted later. But this year, many states have eliminated these regulations and some have changed the rules to allow early voting to be counted first, so this is unlikely to happen as dramatically as we often think.
