Other important links to put things in perspective: Below are some very important links to put things in perspective, about Hari demonstrating EVMs (see youtube video below) can be easily manipulated with Alex from USA and Rop from Netherlands in Indian media, how stand alone EVMs are banned internationally across Europe and USA, acceptance of research paper on manipulability of Indian EVM at prestigious ACM Computer Security Conference at Chicago 2010, Dr. David Dill (considered pioneer in election reforms in USA) statement on EVMs and invitation to ECI to USA etc, appearance of mysterious spreadsheet with election results on ECI website before ECI started counting. Indian EVMs are a tragic story of bureaucrats who know little of technology carrying it to extreme and foolishly defending it and an establishment that finds it attractive to manipulate and subvert democracy. The software is written by few programmers and burnt into a chip in Japan/USA which we cannot even verify what is put in there. And these countries do not even use EVMs. The whole idea fails basic premise of transparency which is best put by German Supreme Court which banned them unanimously in first hearing with one question: ‘How can lay voter be assured that his/her vote is counted against a candidate they voted for after converting the vote into bits and bytes? If voter needs experts to understand it, then it is not transparent’. ECI under Naveen Chawla lied to nation that our EVM are different and not networked. As you can see international experts speak, the EVMs banned in all mature democracies are also not networked, they were banned for simple reason of lack of transparency, not even because of any concerns of fraud that occurred, particularly in Europe. In a corrupt country like India with Transparency international index close to Afghanisthan, this is the worst episode in Indian democracy. These EVMs are not trusted in our own parliament with 543 votes, but it is foisted on the nation. It is a matter of shame after all the events in 2009 that our ECI is still continuing these machines. 1) Video on how to manipulate a real EVM (by Hari and top international experts Alex/Rop)? youtube/watch?v=ZlCOj1dElDY 2) Prestigious ACM computer Security conference paper on Indian EVM (Chicago, 2010) saveindiandemocracy.files.wordpress/2010/04/security-analysis-of-indian-evms.pdf 3) Dr. David Dill (Stanford) Video message to Election Commission on what India can learn from International Experience vimeo/9503780# 4) Presentation on how EVMs are banned internationally gandhiheritage.org/images/pdfs/electronic_voting_machines.pdf 5) Top International computer security Experts write to Election Commission usenix.org/events/evtwote10/final-letter-eci.pdf 6) ‘Democracy at Risk’, book by GVL Narasimha Rao indianevm/book_democracy_at_risk_2010.pdf 7) Did NDA lost to UPA in 2004 and 2009 elections due to EVMs. Page 81 at indianevm/book_democracy_at_risk_2010.pdf 8) Conference on EVM by Dr. Swamy with international experts in Chennai in 2010 vimeo/12679586 9) Dr. David Dill (Stanford) write to Election Commission saveindiandemocracy.files.wordpress/2013/08/dr-dill-letter-to-eci.pdf 10) Omesh Saigal (retd IAS ) write on EVM use saveindiandemocracy.files.wordpress/2013/08/omesh-saigal-letter-on-evm-use.pdf 11) Omesh Saigal (retd IAS) presentation on EVM saveindiandemocracy.files.wordpress/2013/08/omesh-saigal-powerpointevm-presentationnagpur.pptx 12) Arrest and harassment of Hari by Election Commission (Naveen Chawla) saveindiandemocracy.wordpress/hari-harassment-by-police/ 13) Journey of how it all started, on how activists took on EVM issue both in USA and India saveindiandemocracy.wordpress/journey/ 14) Hari Prasad awarded prestigious Pioneer of the year award by US Electronic Frontier Foundation saveindiandemocracy.wordpress/2010/10/19/hari-prasad-awarded-pioneer-of-the-year-by-prestigious-electronic-frontier-foundation/ 15) Mysterious spreadsheet with election results before Election Commission started counting!
