Opinion: Stop Generalising Elon Musk, Indian EVMs Are Safe, Tamper Proof
NDTV
No one in India is talking about eliminating the Indian Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) as these are undoubtedly tamper-proof; none can hack them or influence them using human or artificial intelligence. The current election gave a resounding thumbs-up to the faith 1.4 billion Indian citizens have in India's EVMs.
Today, Mr Elon Musk has stated that "we should eliminate electronic voting machines". Maybe he is talking only about the American democratic process and US Electronic Voting Machines, which may be unsafe and could be hacked.
His statement cannot apply to Indian EVMs. As per the last count, nearly 400 crore votes have been cast on EVMs in India, and not a single case of hacking has ever been proven. In fact, this massive sample size of 400 crores is the single largest scientific experiment ever undertaken in the world, with no proof of cheating.
