EVM debate

February 08, 2019 01:11 am | Updated 01:11 am IST

It is a well-established fact that with VVPATs, manipulation of EVMs is practically impossible (“Checks and balances”, Feb. 7). If glitches are the argument for replacing systems, we cannot trust any system in the world. The paper ballot is most susceptible to rigging. It is a closed chapter in this country. The focus should be on ending VVPAT glitches. Political parties must stop crying foul over a well functioning system.

P. Mangalachandran,
