Yeesh, yes! I’m always shocked by the US’s lack of a common election body!
If there’s one good thing about Indian elections, it’s the Election Commission - they can really rattle parties during the elections…
Fantastic! Disenfranchisement, that is…
Light pencil, X is outside the box, somebody ticks instead of drawing an X, the pencil mark gets erased,…
Oh, and ballot stuffing and booth capturing - you may not know about those in the US, but it happens a LOT elsewhere.
India faced many of these before coming up with our own EVMs. There have been complaints about them, but they’re pretty safe as long as they’re kept physically secure. Most of the big problems with counting have actually reduced since we had EVMs.
Like I said, the most important thing is verification and physical security.
