Election process and EVM in India

 

Election process and EVM in India

The main point of disagreement between the winning and losing teams has always been the EVM machine and VVPAT.  Democracy is practiced in roughly 120 nations.  Only roughly 25 of them have experimented with or elected their governments using electronic voting machines.   According to a US cyber specialist, devices can be compromised.   At an event today, the cyber specialist will demonstrate live EVM hacking.   When it was in opposition, even the BJP questioned the legitimacy of these machines.

The first resolution addressed EVM and VVPAT counting, stating that it is acknowledged that voting and counting solely based on EVMs do not adhere to "democracy principles," which demand that every voter be able to confirm that their vote was cast as intended, recorded as cast, and counted as recorded.   They asserted that it is not reasonable to presume that electronic voting machines (EVMs) are impenetrable. To make the voting process verifiable or auditable, it should be modified to be independent of both hardware and software.

It is necessary to redesign the voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) mechanism in order to make it completely voter-verified.  For a vote to be legitimate and counted, the voter must be able to obtain the VVPAT slip and place it in a ballot box without chips, according to the resolution.    It is claimed that the chip's software is essential to anyone attempting to rig elections using electronic voting machines.   It is preferable to use ballot papers if the Indian people is dubious about the EVM election so they may be sufficiently sure that the government they have chosen to govern the nation is their choice.

 

Discrepancy in number of votes polled and votes counted in 538 constituencies in Lok Sabha polls: ADR said.

Report claims 5 crore vote discrepancy, INDIA bloc would have won maximum seats in Lok Sabha Congress said.

Citing a report, Congress alleged a discrepancy of nearly 5 crore votes between the initial and final counts of the Lok Sabha polls, which they claim would have given the INDIA bloc the most seats in Parliament. This claim is based on a report titled 'Report: Conduct of Lok Sabha Elections 2024', released by 'Vote for Democracy.' A discrepancy of nearly 5 crores votes between the initial votes counted and the final votes counted," Pawan Khera said in a post on X.

A report by *Vote for Democracy* titled “Conduct of Lok Sabha Elections 2024” has made some shocking revelations that can shake the trust of people in our democracy. The report claims the following:

A discrepancy of nearly 5 crores votes between the initial votes counted and the final votes counted.

The report claims that a minimum of 79 seats in 15 states could have been won by the NDA/BJP through the hike in the votes, implying that if true, the INDIA alliance would have the maximum seats in the parliament.

The ECI delayed the publication of final voter turnout throughout the 7 phases, which again raises serious concerns.   If the report is incorrect, @ECISVEEP must clarify its stance on it and restore the faltering faith of the people in the democratic process. But if what is said in the report is true, then the political history of Indian democracy is seeing its turning point.

Massive addition and deletion of Voters could significantly Alter Election Outcomes. A Similar Strategy has been used in the Elections of  $Delhi, #Haryana and #Maharashtra.

Voter roll manipulation:  A few weeks ago, the AAP had uncovered this foul play, alleging that the BJP submitted applications to @ECISVEEP  to delete 5%-8% of votes in several constituencies while also.

Journalist #Ashok-Wankhede revealed in the Maharashtra elections around 230 seats have been rigged.  While counting, Form 17c and EVM were not matching at many booths and seals of many EVMs were broken.  There was never a BJP wave in Maharashtra.

Voter Id and Voters cards of other States in the State where election is taking place

Voter Id and Voters cards of the State should match with Voter list of the State, but after voting voter id of other states, were found in the list.

Congress complained and said it has generated fake voters (same EPIC number in different states) to ensure BJP wins in Loksabha elections and recently concluded state elections.
