Hon’ble Sir,

Sub:
REQUEST to the Supreme Court of India to SCRAP the 2014 LOK SABHA
which passed the order of putting new VVAT voting machines in use in a
“phased manner”, that has unwittingly shirked its duty and committed a
grave error of judgment that dealt a fatal blow to Indian democracy in
general and me a Scheduled Caste and my other ST. OBCs, Minorities and
poor upper caste brothern in particular, if RSS’s BJP’s Narendra Modi is
allowed to become the PRIME MINISTER on 26-05-2014 with this fradulent
EVMs. It should order, that till the time this newer set of about
1300000 voting machines is manufactured in full and so deployed
throughout India, ballot paper system should be brought in to re conduct
the elections. Anal also take action on RSSs Mr. Mohan Bagawath, a
brahmin who says there should not be any reservation on the basis of
castes which is against Constitutional provision for SC/STs CEC Mr.
.Sampath, a brahmin responsible for asking EVMs to be replaced in
instalments created EVM Fixing and Mr. Narendra Modi who has violated
all silas who is unfit to contest any elections. He was responsible for
killing large number of human beings in 2002 Gujarat riots,
Hhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlin… is not revealing his
caste while claiming to be a Backwartd caste though he is a Baniya. He
suppressed the fact that he was married and became the Chief Minister of
Gujarat, He spent huge amount for his election campaign.These three
persons because of their caste background developed hatred, anger,
intolerance, irritation, bias, dominating attitude, delusion towards
Sarva samaj i.e., all societies in general and SC/STs and Muslims who
converted from SC/STs in general. This is nothing but defilement of the
mind that needs mental treatment in mental asylum. Not as Prime Minister
or CEC or in any violent stealth Cult by booking them under
Untouchability and POA, the SC/ST Act, the Prevention of Atrocities
Act.

I, J.Chandrasekharan S/O Late Shri. M.Jagatheesan (Retd.
Chairman, Bench Court, Mayo hall, Bangalore), R etd. Sr.Manager(Design),
ARDC, HAL, Bangalore, Secretary General All India SC/ST Employees and
Officers Assn. and President, HAL SC/ST and Safai Workers Multipurpose
Cooperative Society wish to bring to your kind notice the following for
your favourable orders.When all the doors for SC/STs employees in Govt.
and PSUs were closed, Manyawar Kanshiramji.s BSP came as a boon for the
majority of the society and the political reform helped Ms Maywati to
become Chief Minister for four times. Now the fradulant EVMs are
preventing her to win even a single seat preventing Sarvajan Hitaye
Sarvajan Sukhaye i.e., for the welfare nad happiness of the entire
society.

It has been conclusively proved to the satisfaction of
the Hon’ble Supreme Court that Indian EVMs ARE tamperable.The process of
elections is the most sacrosanct duty in a Republic which ECI should
carry out with utmost diligence. Caesar’s wife should be above
suspicion. Free and fair polls should not only be ensured but APPEAR to
be ensured to the satisfaction of the voters.

India first tested
EVMs in a by-election in 1982, but the machines were first deployed on a
large scale of over 1 million in a general election in 2004.

In
2010, security researcher Hari Prasad and his associates released a
video that they said demonstrated vulnerabilities in the EVMs, after
hacking an EVM that had already been used in an election.

Prasad
and his team replaced the display board of the machine with a look-alike
component that could be instructed through a Bluetooth connection on a
mobile phone to steal a percentage of the votes in favor of a chosen
candidate. The researchers also used a pocket-size device that could be
attached to the memory of the EVM to change the votes stored in the
machine during the period between the election and the public counting
session.

The Supreme Court has in its ruling this week asked the
government to provide the financial assistance required by the Election
Commission to roll out the EVMs. It has not set out a schedule for the
full deployment of EVMs with the paper trail.

American scientists ‘hack’ into Indian voting machines

LONDON:
India’s voting machines - considered to be among the world’s most
tamperproof - can be hacked, American scientists claim.

Researchers
at the University of Michigan connected a home-made device to a voting
machine and successfully changed results by sending text messages from a
mobile.

“We made an imitation display board that looks almost
exactly like the real display in the machines. But underneath some of
the components of the board, we hide a microprocessor and a Bluetooth
radio,” the BBC quoted Prof J Alex Halderman, who led the project, as
saying.

He added: “Our lookalike display board intercepts the
vote totals that the machine is trying to display and replaces them with
dishonest totals - basically whatever the bad guy wants to show up at
the end of the election.”

Moreover, they added a small
microprocessor, which they say can change the votes stored in the
machine between the election and the vote-counting session.

No
one’s right mind would yet allow the use of absolutely antiquated,
completely out-dated, easily hack-able and highly tamper-able “high
school technology” based, obsolete EVMs (electronic voting machines) in
national elections, but it was used now — in 2014

More than 80
democracies in the world have simply done away with them, dumping them
in the trash, or simply declared the usage of this simplistic voting
system susceptible to fraud, and hence declaring the same as
illegal — as the Supreme Courts of Germany and Holland indeed have done.
Even Japan, from where EVMs originated, has long abandoned its rogue
babies, and is using paper ballot system since then. All the advanced
democracies in the West, except the most dull-headed ones, have reverted
to a voter verifiable system or the ballot paper. In Canada, even at
the ,most basic school level, ballot paper voting is in use.

Last
year, the Supreme Court of India, having been convinced of an
undeniable, edible possibility of EVMs getting tampered with and that
easily hacked — even from afar — had ordered the imbecilic Election
Commission and the indolent Government of India to provide about 1600
crore (1600, 0000000) rupees — convert this into your respective
currency! — for manufacturing these VVPAT (Voter Verifiable Paper Audit
Trail) voting machines; which show a verifiable paper receipt to the
voter.

This is the Fundamental Right of a citizen of India, as
per the laws laid down by the Constitution. However, recent newspaper
reports tell us that only 20, 000 such voting machines have been
provided for the entire country in this, 2014 election! India has 29
states now — with Telagana being the latest. In most of them, depending
upon their size etc., either about 400 VVPAT machines are being
deployed, or some such similar ridiculous number — more or less — has
been made available in the length and breadth of the country. It’s an
asinine, bland, cruel, demeaning joke we 1.25 billion voters have been
“blessed” with by the powers that be.

All “patriotic” hackers
including the Chief Election Commission Mr. Sampath, RSS Chief Mr. Mohan
Bagawath BJP Chief Minister Mr. Narendra Modi of our motherland made
hay in May!

As to how EVMs can be hacked into, tampered with, and
results favorably manipulated via software interference and other
means — from near and from far, far away — this can easily be found by
anybody by just going to Google etc. and filling “EVM HACKING,
TAMPERING” or something to this effect in the Search. And lo, behold! a
plethora of information will just overwhelm your overly chilled-out,
lesser employed, un-billed brains.

However, the only solace for
us naive fools is that quite a few unscrupulous politicians and every
other most “honorable” political party worthy of its “salt”, would
surely be playing this comic-tragic game of hacking into and hijacking
the votes of a billion people! Thus, one who outsmarts the other such
fine folks, armed with their hacking forks in this merry-go-around, will
win.

The rest — this or that “tsunami” or wave in favor of one
or the other, poll forecasts and the “newbie”, the over enthused,
seeming game changers in the making — well, have fallen flat on their
dumb faces.

That the Supreme Court of India too, while passing
the order of putting new VVAT voting machines in use in a “phased
manner”, has unwittingly shirked its duty. In fact, it committed a grave
error of judgment. Perhaps dealt a fatal blow to Indian democracy. It
should have ordered, as a caution, that till the time this newer set of
about 1300ooo voting machines is manufactured in full and so deployed
throughout India, ballot paper system would be brought in.

The
somewhat notorious lawyer who had brought in this case — of the present
lot of EVMs being tamper-able and hack-able — and, who, had successfully
fought it so, forcing the Supreme Court to order the installation of a
fail-safe voting mechanism (of Voter Verifiable Paper Audit machines
replacing the susceptible earlier Electronic Voting Machines) to ensure a
free and fair electoral process in India — this-very honorable fellow
too has fallen silent, like a demure maiden. This most vociferous
gentleman had openly declared on social websites, especially Twitter,
that in case VVPAT machines do not get installed in time for 2014
elections, then, there would be a “constitutional crisis” — putting it
out there like an Indian “pehalwan”, a la WWW wrestler, that he would
challenge the same in the apex court. He had most emphatically
underlined he would ensure that either the new fail-safe voting machines
or the old time-tested paper ballot system will be put in use during
this general election in India. However, recently, when asked
specifically on Twitter about this matter — as to what this lovely man
is doing or is going to do about this impending doomsday electoral
scenario — there was a deafening silence from his side. May be owing to
the fact that since the Supreme Court judgement late last year, this
self-righteous rightist has joined the ultra-rightist political
bandwagon.
The latter has been projected by pollsters to
overwhelmingly sweep these elections — as a direct result of the doings
of the monstrous public relations firm hired from the land of the
let-it-be, oops! free. This US firm is the same that was used fruitfully
by President Bush and Hillary Clinton for their respective political
campaigns. It has — let there be no doubt about it — successfully
projected its client as the potential winner and the next numero uno in
Indian politics.

What the majority of the Indians have missed in
fine print is that the outgoing Chief Minister of the state of
Rajasthan, in the last year elections, had officially filed a complaint
with the election commission that the EVMs used in his state were
pre-programmed and tampered with — and that the same had come from the
state of which this presently hyped-up future Prime Minister of India,
is the current Chief Minister. Now, the lawyer who had gone to the dogs
to awaken India and the rest of the world about the mischief and
malfeasance possible with the old model of EVMs — and had in fact
written a book on this subject — is in a wink-wink deep-throat “smadhi”.
A silence that speaks truths we dumb billion idiots on this part of
slippery earth cannot fathom. Perhaps it’s a precursor of the things to
come.

Let us hope the jolly good hackers of this-that party
screw-up each other’s devilish, outright evil plans. In a dog eat dog
political crap pit we hapless billion creatures have to walk through
every election, maybe this time the ape sitting by the side — the
wide-eyed hopeful citizen of India — at least gets a tiny part of the
apple pie this messy hacking cat fight will leave behind, on the side
lanes. Perhaps these little crumbs will be enough for us to stay afloat.
though not gloat.

In a nutshell, simply put, BJP “out-hacked” the other, thinks it has won.

Then again, RSS’s BJP believing in a cult of more than 33, 0000000 gods and goddesses — some civilized, others not so civil.

There
is no hope that one of these fancied deities will have a soft corner
for us Sarva Samaj i.e., the entire society. Otherwise, we are going to
get screwed. A billion times over.

Therefore, many made doubly sure they did not vote. I sat on my ass on voting day —

The Hon’ble must follow the above orders to free us from living in a
fool’s paradise.

Long live the banana republic of India!

ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES FIXING

‘FIXING’ Indian Lok Sabha elections

Computer
Business Review appeared more certain with the “How Google search
results influenced elections” headline for its version of the story, the
Guardian reported.”……Google changed its course, it undermined people’s
trust in its results and company.”

A press release put out on 13
May by the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, an
independent research organisation based in California created a furore
around the topic when it released a report headlined “Could Google have
fixed the Lok Sabha elections? A landmark new study in India shows it’s
possible,” the report added. (ANI)

Google Search threatens democracy: Study

Published: 9:31 am, May 15, 2014 Story By: mattersindia.com

A threat to democracy

Washington:
As India eagerly awaits the outcome of the just concluded general
elections, a study by an American institute says the real threat to
democracy comes from an unexpected corner: Google Search.

Google
search results can pose a real threat to democracy as it could swing a
close election by influencing the voting preferences of undecided
voters, wars the American Institute for Behavioral Research and
Technology in California that studied more than 2,000 undecided voters
throughout India.

The study conducted in recent weeks suggests
that Google has the power to fix elections “without anyone being the
wiser.” This is possible because of the power that search rankings have
on people’s opinions, the researchers said.
Studies show that the
higher the rank, the more people trust the result, which is why
companies are spending billions now to push their products higher.

“So
could highly-ranked search results that make Arvind Kejriwal look
better than Narendra Modi drive votes to Kejriwal?” the researchers set
out to determine, The Times of India reported.

In research
conducted last year in the US, researchers found that search rankings
biased in favor of a candidate could push the preferences of undecided
voters towards that candidate by 15 percent or more.

The
researchers have shown that votes can easily be pushed toward one
candidate or another by about 12 percent — double that amount in some
demographic groups — enough to determine the outcomes of many close
races.

“This is a very serious matter — a real threat to
democracy,” said Dr Robert Epstein, lead researcher in the study and
Senior Research Psychologist at the American institute.

“If two
candidates were both trying to push their rankings higher, they would be
competing, and that’s fine. But if Google, which has a monopoly on
search in India, were to favor one candidate, it could easily put that
candidate in office by manipulating search rankings, and no one could
counter what they were doing.

“Even if without human intervention
the company’s search algorithm favored one candidate, thousands of
votes would still be driven to that candidate,” said Epstein.

In
the new study, participants were randomly assigned to groups in which
search rankings favored either Kejriwal, Rahul Gandhi, or Modi.

Real
search rankings and web pages were used, and people were asked to
research all the candidates just as they would on Google. The only
difference between the groups was the order in which the search results
were displayed.

The new study suggests that biased search
rankings can be used to fix the outcome of races in India in which the
winner is projected to win by a margin up to 2.9 percent.

This
can be done just by influencing undecided voters who use the internet — a
small but important group of voters that is sure to grow in coming
years, researchers said.

Worldwide, the researchers said, upwards of 25 percent of national elections are won by margins under 3 percent.
The study also shows that certain demographic groups are especially vulnerable.

The
voting preferences of 19 percent of women over 35 were shifted in the
study, as were the voting preferences of 18 percent of voters who were
unemployed.

“Of particular concern is the fact that 99 percent of
the people in our study seemed to be unaware that the search rankings
they saw were biased. That means Google has the power to manipulate
elections without anyone suspecting they’re doing so,” said Epstein.

“To
prevent undue influence, election-related search rankings need to be
regulated and monitored, as well as subjected to equal-time rules,”
Epstein said.
