Not opposed to EVMs but against electronic voting manipulation: Congress

“We are not against electronic voting machines but against their manipulation,” he asserted.The Congress leader said, “We are against manipulation of voting machines as some parties feel that voting machines can be manipulated.””They can use EVMs but VVPATs are also counted, so that the credibility of voting is maintained. Some people have lost confidence in the voting system and that should be restored,” he added.Ramesh also recalled that the opposition parties have been seeking time from the Election Commission to raise their point that 100 per cent VVPATS be counted, but the poll body is not giving them time.”We will present our documents in support of our claims to the EC and raise our demand. We want an independent and fair election. Why is the EC afraid and it is not even meeting us in this regard,” he said questioning the EC’s intent.
