EVM Great Challenge- BOO BOO

The dishonesty or honesty of a system cannot be based on an individual's talent show , especially to prove it is honest. One person is enough to prove dishonesty in any system, but is anyone person fit enough in this world to certify any system as honest or absolutely fool proof beyond any doubts?

EC Qureshi has thrown an open challenge to Saigal to come to the EVM factory and prove that the EVM's can be manipulated. he says all Saigal is doing so far is on a laptop which is vastly dissimilar to the 'machine'.  First of all this is a welcome step, for this is exactly what was expected from EC. IF they are so confident about what they have throw it to the public and challenge, not to some Saigal and have us witness a mock show. The stakes are so high that it will surely come down to what is your price Mr. Saigal? For then it will be only compromising a person's character and not a system or Country. the fact is Saigal is as unknown as the machine itself.

Many a times it has happened in this country and that is a seemingly aggressive opponent is actually a covert friend in need. Before elections a thin EC of a state showed lots of spine , but while and after elections proved to be the best ally of the kings. It happens.

Saigam, Indrasen and also Qureshi may be correct , but prove within reasonable methods that this is ok and that cannot be done by challenging 'one person. So tomorrow a Ramki may challenge and how many will the election commission oblige.

Call all parties, give them a machine, allow them to interact, investigate , tear it burn it do whatever and give them a reasonable time and within that time if no one is able to prove any thing wrong certify the machine and shut the story, else go back to previous.

But wait a minute. That is not the end. I have reasonable faith on the machine originally made for the purpose. But how can a lay man like me,  be sure that what is in the booth is an original machine. What is the guarantee that it is not replaced by a similar machine in the vault.  In Tamilnadu there was a mysterious power cut just a day before polls and after too, THERE IS A CONSTITUENCY WERE THE VOTES ANNOUNCED AS POLLED WAS LESSER THAN THE VOTES COUNTED AND REASON GIVEN WAS CLERICAL ERROR. ETC ETC.- What is the guarantee that nothing went amiss. So log records, QC, logistics information, fairness of approach, multiple checks, etc should be shared with all parties. THERE ARE SO MANY STEPS, SO MANY DAYS AND SO MANY WAYS, HOW CAN THIS BECOME A FOOL PROOF SYSTEM. ATLEAST THE DAYS OF STORAGE SHOULD COME DOWN. ONE SUGGESTION IS TO TELECAST LIVE THE STORE ROOMS OF VAULT AND ALL TRANSPORTATION AND PROCESS INCLUDING THE STORAGE 24*7, AND SHOW IT IN THE WEB, SO THAT ALL CAN SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO, WHICH EVER CONSTITUENCY.   THE PUBLIC HAVE THE RIGHT TO THIS INFORMATION FOR IT INVOLVES HIS DESTINY. 


REGARDING THE ELECTIONS THAT WENT BY I HAVE NOT AN IOTA OF DOUBT THAT IT WAS FIXED, BUT I AM UNDER NO COMPULSION TO TRY AND PROVE IT FOR IT DOES NOT CONCERN ME. WHEN WAS A RULING PARTY A CONCERN FOR A COMMON MAN, EITHER WAY?

    Going by your argument (visavis Ram) are these political parties electronics engineer to test a machine.Why doesn't a Ramdoss or Jayalalitha accept that they lost to the smart money laundering by DMK.DMK paid equal amounts of money to Government employees(polling officers) and ADMK/PMK agents.I think its ridiculous on their part to say that they lost because of EVM.
