Stop blaming EVMs when you lose, Omar Abdullah tells Congress' https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/stop-blaming-evms-when-you-lose-omar-abdullah-tells-congress/articleshow/116346011.cms ..parties should not contest elections if they do not trust the voting mechanism...If one is certain that the EVMs are being hacked then the only logical response would be to boycott the polls till these machines are trashed.
Just think of it that such an insane move would have saved the BJP the big humiliation, and consequent erosion in legitimacy, of being drastically reduced from 303 to 232 -- well below the bare majority mark -- despite the shrill cry of "over 400 this time!".
Not to forget that if one EVM can be hacked then any and every EVM can be hacked -- with scaling up of efforts input.

BJP to release book against EVMs today(Feb 2010) https://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi/bjp-to-release-book-against-evms-today/story-yGi1uLuJDmHQykPAadUIYP.html ByShekhar Iyer, Party president Nitin Gadkari will release a book by the BJP’s election analyst, G.V.L. Narasimha Rao on Friday. Rao’s Democracy at Risk questions the very constitutional validity of EVMs and even cites the ways they can be hacked.
WA/email by SS: As yet no random tallying of the VVPAT slips with the EVM outcomes, being mandatorily carried out, has come up with any mismatch.
Of course, in the era of fast evolving technology and the ECI virtually being the 12th member of the BJP team full transparency and further improvements must be forcefully and consistently demanded.
Also the fact that the polls are indeed being manipulated to the advantage of the ruling party in terms of allowing unchecked hate speeches, huge financial assymetry, voters' lists manipulation, vote suppression by using the state machinery etc. needs to be adequately highlighted.
The unsubstantiated clamour about EVMs only helps to distract. It also adds to apathy of the anti-BJP voters.
Comment: The whole concept of "scientific rigging', involves during it in a manner that is believable. And this also involves using different tactics in different situations. the most obvious is you cannot get all candidates in all consitutencies with withdraw candidature.

Therefore the only way to beat rigging and also EVM manipulation is to turn up in larger numbers, and vote and that too in the first half of the day

Omar has hit the nail on its head.. Soon after the Loksabha election we flagged huge spike in votes in 15 states and possible stealing of mandate in 79 constituencies. INC did nothing and their chief advisor, Yogendra Yadav derided us. In the process Rahul Gandhi has lost credibility as LOP!! - MGD

On X Anish Tiwari, Ph.D. @Anish_Tiwari Me and @MukherjeeReuben did a thing. We scraped data from @ECISVEEP,
, reconciled the total EVM votes counted with total EVM votes polled, and then plotted the same. Here's the end result. see MAP https://t.co/TMdShPKUqb
1. EVM Votes Counted data from ECI.
2. EVM Votes polled data from ECI Press Notes 102/2024; 109/2024 and PIB press release on 06-06-2024.
3. Postal ballot votes have not been accounted for.

https://x.com/ani/status/1794612302811103449?s=48&t=SFa-k5NPsWv0XaNTx3j6wg ANI @ANI #WATCH | Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal says "You all know that the voting results will be out on the 4th June. I want to make the public and the political parties aware of what you should do when the machines (EVMs) open. So I have made a chart for all the parties and all the counting agents. In this chart, the CU (control unit) number, BU (ballot unit) number and VVPAT ID will be present...The third column is very important. 4th June 2024 is written in the third column and the time when the machine will be opened is written below. If there is any difference in this time then you will know that the machine has already been opened somewhere...Then, the serial number of control unit will also come here in written format, you have to match that too...When the total poll vote comes, then look at it carefully so that when there are more votes in the counting, the problem may come again...Keep in mind 2 things, do not press the result button until the verification is done in the above column and if there is a difference between that timing and the timing of the result then there is something wrong. I would like that all political parties and all the candidates who are sitting there should carefully check the first column and get it opened only then..."
