100% VVPAT count idea 'regressive', like adopting paper ballot: Election Commission to SC
The Election Commission of India (EC) has defended the EVM-VVPAT system against a petition seeking 100% data cross verification, stating that it is an attempt to cast doubt on the functioning of the system. The EC has highlighted the technical and administrative safeguards in place to prevent manipulation or tampering of the EVMs and VVPATs. It has also cautioned against extensive data verification, as it could lead to human intervention and manipulation.
