No time for another EVM conspiracy

Hindustan Times  

Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh, who led the Congress campaign in Madhya Pradesh, have pointed fingers at the electronic voting machines for the party’s drubbing in the assembly elections. The Congress last won a simple majority in this state in 1998 and expected to win this time – in 2018, it had emerged as the single largest party and formed a government that collapsed in early 2020. EVMs were introduced on a pilot basis in 1998 and in the 2004 general elections, EVMs were used in all 543 Lok Sabha constituencies. Multiple high courts and the Supreme Court have dismissed allegations that EVMs can be compromised and vouchsafed the integrity of the polling process with them.
