Election commission forced to admit that EVMs with printer was a mass failure !! Solution? Order your MP via SMS to cancel EVMs and switch back to paper ballots with franking machine in booth which has 20 second delay
In Mizoram, EC was planning to use 220 EVM with printers. ECIL could deliver only 21. Of these 21, 11 were broke before poll started. And rest 10 broke during the poll. Now Mizoram has small booths --- hardly 200-300 voters. Most booths in India have 700-900 voters. And during general elections, we need 8 lakh EVMs !! And if Assembly elections of say 2-3 major states are held along with Loksabha polls, then we will need 10 lakhs EVMs !!
Only a person with 4 digit IQ can support EVM with printers !!! I foretold many moons ago that having one printer in every booth is logistic nightmare as transport of printers requires care, and if care is not shown, then they get damaged. Election Commisson wants to spend Rs 1600 crore on printers , which will never work anyway. And every election, even if 10% of printers are to be replaced, then cost will be Rs 160 crore every 5 years. And whats the cost of ballot papers? Hardly Re 1 per ballot paper , i.e. Rs 80 crores across India !! Despite this mess, all political parties including AAP has announced full support to EVMs, and asked volunteers not to demand paper ballots. AK also asked volunteers not to send orders to MPs via SMS to put paper ballots.
So may-2014 elections will be with EVMs without printers . So CIA can change votes via remote control CIA has planted in the EVMs
We ate Right to recall group are the ONLY activists who are informing activists and voters about how easy it for CIA to rig vote at mass scale with few people . And

[b]EC admits 'mass failure'[/b]
Express News Service , 01-dec-2013
The Election Commission has admitted "mass failure" of the Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) machines in the November 25 Mizoram Assembly elections. The poll panel has summoned officials of the Hyderabad-based, state-owned Electronics Corporation of India Limited (ECIL) over this.
Addressing a press conference in Aizawl Saturday, Mizoram Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Ashwani Kumar and Jt CEO H Lalengmawia said 21 VVPAT machines, of around 212 deployed in 10 constituencies within Aizawl city, failed. [b]While 11 failed on November 24 as preparations were underway, 10 more failed as polling proceeded the following day and had to be replaced.[/b] :lol:
"I am not sure we can call this a robust machine at this stage," Kumar said, adding the ECIL was anyway two weeks late in delivering the VVPAT machines, which coupled with the failures led to "administrative challenges".
The VVPAT machines were used for the first time in the Noksen by-polls in Nagaland in September, and the Mizoram polls were the first instance of their use on a large scale. Attached to EVMs, the machines allow voters to verify that their vote has been cast in the way they wished, and were deployed in 10 of Mizoram's 40 constituencies.
They are slated to be used in the Delhi Assembly polls on December 4, in Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's New Delhi constituency.
