A Kaohsiung man posted this photo of his voting station work permit on the day of the recall vote against Mayor Han Kuo-yu. The man also posted that he'd prepared a stack of "yes" ballots. His post quickly went viral and he was quickly brought in for questioning by police.

He posted on social media about influencing the election. For example, he said he discovered ballot fraud at a polling station.

The man told police he'd only been joking about the stack of ballots and didn't know it would turn into such a big deal.

These posts are a violation of the Civil Servant Election and Recall Act or Criminal Code or Social Order Maintenance Act.

從Line截圖清楚可以看到是市長韓國瑜罷免案投開票所的工作證，上頭還有職稱，這個自稱是豐安的男子表示私下拿了一疊蓋同意票，這畫面遭群組上其他成員截圖，轉貼到其他聊天室，網友熱烈討論，高雄市刑大科偵組介入偵辦。

高雄市刑大科技犯罪偵查隊長 郭丁太表示：「在社群媒體上發言，或用貼圖或用其他言語，去張貼說有影響選舉狀況，譬如說他發現有投開票所作票。」

男子到案後表示，只是出於好玩開玩笑，沒有真的蓋了一疊同意票，也沒想到會引起這麼大風波，只是後悔為時已晚。

高雄市刑大科技犯罪偵查隊長 郭丁太表示：「這些部分的言論，都已經觸犯選罷法，或者刑法妨礙投票，妨礙正確投票罪，或者是社維法。」

中選會特地闢謠澄清，表示這是不實訊息，是侮辱公署行為，也呼籲網友假消息勿亂傳，觸法害己，悔不當初。
