as stalin said, it is not who votes that matters, it is who counts.
if the great alleged democracy indians are so proud of turns out to be a sham, well, that is worth knowing.
much water has flowed under the bridge since i wrote this in jul 2009, and i have not updated it. the story is even more compelling now.
also, it looks like hard times are in store for whistleblowers around the world. it is believed the pentagon was behind the swedish rape charade over the wikileaks guy -- seems rather strange he would go around raping somebody, now of all times!
in india, it is a clear case of witness intimidation. EC does not want its precious EVMs exposed for what they possibly are: crappy little boxes that are easily manipulated. with bluetooth or other radio, you just need to be in the vicinity of the booth to do your thing.
in the interest of the scientific method, yes, i have no evidence (yet) that elections were fixed. but the fact that they *could be*, and that the EC resolutely meets every request with a "trust us, the thing is foolproof" makes one intensely suspicious. no, EC, if the thing is foolproof, you must *demonstrate* that it is foolproof, not just stonewall and hope everybody gets tired of the topic and moves on.

Yup. The EVMs must be scrapped. The morons in India believe everything with electronics must be good. Sometimes stone age technology such as paper ballot could be better than semiconductors.
Its a shame that a witness and learned person is being harrassed this way. Its a shame that UPA is ruling India today.
