Congress, Opposition’s Hypocrisy Exposed in Maharashtra over EVM and Repolling| Oneindia

The Maharashtra Assembly elections once again spotlighted the opposition’s habit of blaming EVMs when results don’t favor them. In Solapur's Markadwadi village, NCP(SP) supporters, upset over BJP’s Ram Satpute leading locally despite Uttamrao Jankar’s overall win, planned an illegal ballot “re-election.” Authorities rightly shut it down, calling it anti-democratic. Ironically, EVMs—introduced by Congress—are now their scapegoat. Locals dismissed the rhetoric, crediting Satpute’s development work, with one saying, “He earned his votes, no tampering needed.” #EVMControversy #MaharashtraPolitics #DemocracyMatters #ElectionIntegrity #EVM Also Read EVM Whiners Or Sore Losers?

Elon Musk Lauds India’s Fast Vote Counting, Slams California’s Slow Election Results in Fiery X Post [Video]

Elon Musk Lauds India’s Fast Vote Counting, Slams California’s Slow Election Results in Fiery X Post

Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise India's efficient and swift vote-counting process, contrasting it with the delays faced by California in finalising its election results. In his post, Musk highlighted how India, with its electronic voting machines (EVMs) and voter verifiable paper audit trails (VVPATs), was able to count a staggering 640 million votes in a single day during the recent elections. This stands in stark contrast to California, which has been struggling to count votes nearly 20 days after the election, largely due to complicated mail-in ballot procedures and decentralised local election systems. Musk emphasised the scalability and efficiency of India's centralised election oversight, led by the Election Commission, while criticising the slow and cumbersome system in California. His comments have sparked debate on the effectiveness of different electoral systems, with many praising India's handling of large-scale elections. #ElonMusk #IndiaElections #VoteCounting #EfficientElections #CaliforniaElections #ElectionSystem #VoterIntegrity #ElectionReform #IndianElectionModel #FastCounting #EVMS #VVPAT #USVsIndia #ElectionDelays #MuskOnElections ~HT.178~PR.320~ED.103~GR.124~
