#evmfraud? the machines are dubious, tho fraud's a cong specialty, not a BJP way

this is what i wrote years ago about the then-existing EVMs, which i thought were a crock. things have improved with VVPATs, but still have grave doubts about them. i still don't trust computers.

the election commissioner's letter is hardly reassuring, and i don't think this is the last word on the matter. what indiresan et al said earlier was total bullshit, and i hope things have improved since then. but i have my doubts about the chips involved, the firmware, and the processes. the whole thing needs a thorough security audit.
