Can a single party do this within hours of closure of booths? All the accompanying security would be bribed? If so, how in how many constituencies one can change, with all the seals intact? In the era of camera phones, nobody can shoot? Whether all EVM carrying vehicles with security in each constituency reach destinations through jungles only as in movies? Too much imagination. This can happen only in dictatorship countries. Saddam used to win with 99+ % of votes. Not possible in India.
I was at a seminar this morning, Mr Querishi was the key note speaker. He opined that the present recommendation is not sufficient and perhaps it is best that the top 2 candidates choose the EVM (sample of 2-3) instrument whose VVPAT is to be counted…
Unless it’s proved that EVMs can be hacked or manipulated, EVM controversy will remain a pure political propaganda. No VVPAT counting procedure would stop opposition even if their demands of 50% or 25% counting are met. EVM being a machine can’t defend itself and it will remain an easy target for opposition. Take the example – with the same EVMs Congress recently won three state elections but still Congress leads the opposition on EVM controversy. Has the wining of three states, satisfied Congress? The answer is no because the dissatisfaction is fake and not real.
US, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand have paper-ballot system . Why?
Has any IAS officer ever given one single suggestion about (1) how to move cast-ballot boxes from storage places in safe and foolproof way? (2) SLL sports of manipulations arepossible once ballot boxes get moving. Replacements, substitutions by duplicates, privately got printed, not only of votes, but boxes carried on masse, change of Van’s and cars with the very same number plates, (3) With our computers nobody should ever know which constituency and what booth’s boxes are being moved or whether they are real or just look-alike boxes in mock-drill to fool miscreants again and again during wait for counting date. If designated unknown to each military personnel known for their utmost honest being deployed by one single authority either from ECO or MHA. ?

Why do you assume that where there is discrepancy dye to defective machines, the result would favour the ruling party only?
