EVM Fraud: Will the opposition parties realise now?

The Just concluded elections of the three states, have the already predictable results.  that congress will win in all three states.  In Haryana, it has fallen short of 6 seats.

But these are not the matters.  The more important question that is suppressed under a conspirical silence is the EVM fraud.  There are some moaning voice from some corners like this news.. Electronic Victory Machines ..

One of the important question about the recent election is that why does EC have two weeks of time between election and the counting of votes.  I believe, election date was around Oct 10, and counting was done on Oct22.  Why so much gap? With so much delay, one can tamper even with ballot boxes.  We have to remember, that for the last loksabha election, the counting was done, within two days of completion of the election process.  Why no opposition parties questioned this?  Have they become dumb, or subservient?

Some one took a video on how simple its to fraud the EVM, which happened in arunachal pradesh..  this blogger ZiminZiro has explained in detail about this fraud..

Some more of my thoughts about Wireless Feature in EVMs:

In my previous post, i had written about the possibility of secret wireless feature in EVM chips.  Still i believe its possibility.  We can understand this from the real time examples.

Today, almost all mobiles comes with bluetooth feature.  But, how does a buyer knows, if there is a bluetooth in the mobile?

Either he learns it from manual, or from the mobile menus, where option for activating bluetooth would be available.

But imagine, if there is no mention in the mobile manual, nor there is a menu available for activating bluetooth.  How do we find if the mobile actually contains bluetooth or not?  No possibility, right?

And let us analyse how the bluetooth communication occurs.  When any one connects to our mobile, the mobile will alert us that a particular device is cotacting our set.  But imagine, if there is no alert raised in our mobile (either deliberately or fault in software design)?  The connection will be established in the background without our knowledge, and some person from 10 meters apart will be silently browsing our mobile memory.  We would never know of this, unless there is an alert feature in the mobile.

Now, some electronic experts say, that we can identify the presence of bluetooth, by detecting bluetooth waves when the set is contacted.  This seems to be valid, but we can only identify that only if the set responds for incoming connection requests.

Suppose, the manipulated mobile set is programmed that it will be in silent mode, and should respond only when contacted by a particular device with particular secret code?

Hope, it sounds logical.

Extending the same, the electronic chip of the EVM machine can be programmed like this, such that it can be contacted from the satellite and alter the data.

In the case of ballot papers, once a vote is caste, its difficult to change the markings for each vote.  But in case of EVM, the vote is only virtual.. ie it lies as a number in a electronic memory location.

Every one is aware of the mobile memory card.  We can store files, songs, or the images taken from the mobile in this card.  But also, the same card can be read through an external reader.  Today, most of the laptop comes with a memory card reader inbuilt.

This means, the memory which we are using in our mobile can be read externally too.

Extending the same logic, why cant the memory of the EVM machine be altered by an external reader?  It requires just change in value at a particular memory location, which will alter the entire results.

Adamant Election Commission:

But inspite of all these suspicions, the election commission is adamant in its claim that EVM machines could not be hacked and its fool proof.  More idiotic stand is its claim that no one is able to tamper the EVM or prove that Trojan exists there.  This claim of EC is idiotic for the following reasons.

1. An EVM can be tampered only during manufacturing stage, that too during the manufacturing of the Chip.  Now, why is EC not revealing where the chips are manufactured?  I heard it is manufactured in Japan & US.

2. After tampering the EVM, its difficult to detect it, by third party.  Because, when the tampering happens at the manufacturing stage of chip, even those who are assembling the EVMs will not be aware of that, and cannot detect that. In that case, how can the ordinary citizen identify that?

3. Since the tampered EVMs are dispersed among the normal EVMs, its really rubbish on the part of the EC to give some random EVMs and challenging the opponents to tamper.  In my opinion, this challenge should be rejected in the first place, and its a wrong move on the part of those who oppose EVMs.  We have to identify those booths, where we suspect of tamperings, and then demand EVMs used in those booths for inspection.  (again here we should be careful not to accept any challenge).

The only solution is that in the next elections, when the opposition parties detect of any unnatural behaviour in the EVMs, they should immediately seize the evm and transport it to a secret location.  After that, check both the data so far polled along with the timing recorded in the memory.  Also, try to poll some more votes, and see if they are actually working.

This may require some daring skills on the part of the opposition parties.  But still, we may not be sure, to detect the manipulations.  The opposition parties should invest their energy in learning the inner details of the EVMs.

4. The very conduct of the Election commission is deeply suspicious.  Their stance on this issue is like a big boss.  Its like a thief challenging the people to prove that he had actually done the theft.

The election commission, in principle, should take effort even to clarify the minute doubts on the EVM.  It should have taken initiative to explain to the concerned parties, and clarify their doubts convincingly.

But so far, the EC is blaming the opposition, and repeating its words like a parrot.

5. Finally, every institution is as credible as its leader.  Now, with Naveen Chawla, as its chief, the EC had lost its credibility both in its behaviour and its image.  The 400 page report by previous CEC, gopalaswamy, has been deliberately withheld by the Congress government, which proves, that there is serious allegation on him about his conduct and impartiality.  The opposition should have stalled the entire nation out of this issue, but surprisingly they remained silent on this.

Even now, they can openly declare their lack of trust on Naveen Chawla, and in turn demand the 400 page report to be released.  Its doubt, if the opposition parties can do it.

Future Elections will be a mockery:

I doubt, in future, the elections will be a mockery.  The opposition parties invest so much of money and man power, only to be fooled in the end, through EVm manipulation.

However this time, i doubt the role of opposition itself, based on conduct of certain parties.

In tamilnadu, the ADMK which lost in Chidambaram due to deliberate manipulation, had become silent on this issue.  So as the PMK, the TDP of andhra and other parties.

I suspect, that a considerable amount would have been transferred to these parties, to compensate for their spending on the election, and also to remain silent about the EVM issue.

I even doubt the conduct of the BJP delhi leadership like Advani, arun jaitley etc.  Either they would have been blackmailed and checkmated, or they would have been bribed.

Advani’s conduct (and the dilli-4 of BJP) doesnt corroborate to their earlier image and stature.

Now in future, the ruling party will be going to decide the result through EVM, and the opposition parties, will find it more profitable to lose than winning (by getting double the amount they would be spending on election from the ruling party for ignoring election fraud).

Ultimately the common people who take time and vote for the parties, will the joker of that election drama.
