2. The act of donation and provision of money and valuables related to the election for public office need to be strictly punished because it impairs the fairness and transparency of the election and it is likely to interfere with the rational choice of the voters, and the crime of this case recognized by evidence, evidence, rules of evidence, and legal principles is recognized as the case where the defendant knowingly provided a large amount of money to the competition voters, such as the case where the defendant was aware that the act of donation and provision of money and valuables under the Public Official Election Act are strictly prohibited, and the crime is not less complicated, or objective and neutral sentencing elements are recognized.
