SC Dismisses Petition For Paper Ballots, Rejects EVM Tampering Claims

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a petition to revert to paper ballots, dismissing claims that Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) are tampered with. The bench remarked that EVM tampering accusations arise only when candidates lose elections. The petitioner, KA Paul, also sought disqualification for candidates using inducements, but the court questioned his involvement in political matters.
