The Election Assistance Commission serves as a clearinghouse of election information and distributes grant money to states.

There is no non-nefarious reason to do this.

Anyways, here's my two cents on the vote chori thingie. I'm usually not active in politics these days because studies but the outstanding job INC is doing with its IT cell needs to be addressed.

If congress is really in the wrong and making false claims ( let me clarify I am not a congress supporter before you accuse me of anything to divert the point of discussion ) why didn't election commission ( EC) give a point to point rebuttal to Rahul Gandhi's claims ? Why didn't EC upload the Form 17C which is required by the Law ? Why did EC reject oppositions's demand over VVPAT slips ? EC asked Pappu to say his claims under the oath but they didn't deny any of his claims. No clear evidence was provided by BJP and Ec to prove Pappu is wrong

Why isn't EC giving them the CCTV footage and taking any action against Pappu if he is spreading misinformation. many people's names in the voter list are " idgaf" or random letter like this. someone's house number is zero , a 90 year old is registered as first time voter and 80 people living in 1BHK household is crazy. and these are just a few examples. the list goes on

But it's even more crazy how you can still keep your eyes shut when our basic right to vote is being tampered by the party we voted for. Kindly not be an andhbhakt that liberals like to call us BJP voters and demand accountability

It's high time you discuss real issues here rather than being bootlicker of bjp and only talking about mythology. It is clear time and again that EC is no longer an independent body. We never got an answer why EC commissioner Arun Goel and Ashok Lavasa resigned mid tenure and this time EC's lack of clear evidence to counter pappu's allegation proves it

About Form 17C and the law around it. Please read the links. I'll add screenshots below which should answer your question.

"Why didn't EC give rebuttal to Rahul Gandhi's claims?" They did though. You may read it here. Or read the image below.

What exactly did opposition demand about VVPAT slips? Here's an article about how the Supreme Court on April 7, 2025, refused to examine a plea seeking a direction to the Election Commission of India for a 100% manual counting of voter verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) slips in addition to electronic counting by the control unit.

What the fuck does "andhbhakti" have to do with EC? That is an autonomous constitutional authority responsible for administering election processes in India and has nothing to do with BJP. It is in fact "andhbhakts" who have been demanding more fair elections as, you know, in West Bengal, for example, polling agents belonging to BJP get murdered by the opposition party members. EC is actually answering point by point Rahul Gandhi's questions and taking measures to maintain the integrity of Indian elections. The question is, why is Rahul Gandhi and the entities behind him suddenly trying to discredit EVM and ECI? And more importantly, why are you buying it? How does it make you feel that you used all those abbreviations about institutions and voting processes I'm not familiar with and still get schooled by me? 🤔

Fun Fact 384

Because such a large portion of the electorate is illiterate in India, each party is given a unique party symbol by the Election Commission of India to identify parties. New parties are given a choice of symbols and the right to use a symbol has been fiercely contested in cases where parties have split into factions. Symbols used currently include a hand, an elephant, a bicycle, and even a ladder.

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 million ballots, and there exists no evidence to suggest otherwise. Yet Kris Kobach — who is vice-chairing the White House’s “voter fraud panel” under Vice President Mike Pence — told MSNBC’s Katy Tur that the popular vote total is in doubt. Read more (7/19/17)

the machine readable voter rolls are still not out as the opposition demanded and the tweet is not a point by point rebuttal for such serious allegations. read your screenshots first. there is no evidence in those screenshots that proves that the claims made by Pappu are false.

For the love of god read the articles I linked. The rebuttal is there. It's not my problem if you were impressed by Pappu's cheap ppt made by some intern.

People in villages know there’s no house numbering, and during Pradhan elections, candidates get voter IDs made for their supporters’ families to secure votes. These mistakes have been happening since 1951. And in cities, people who frequently change rental homes often give a common address like House No. 0. Those who travel between multiple cities get their voter IDs made in the city they’re staying in, and even after applying to cancel their voter ID from the previous constituency, the cancellation often never happens. Then there are cases like this ⬇️ , so no system can be perfect as long as humans are involved in it, and Indian democracy is nothing short of a miracle, there are multiple checks and balances and at the moment the SC and EC are putting out statements, all which you can read instead of reading Pidi propaganda all day long.

Rahul Gandhi is just twisting these issues to fit the deep state’s agenda. People can’t see that he’s trying to create unrest and attempt a power overthrow, just like what was done in Bangladesh and other countries, simply because Modi isn’t giving in to their demands. Btw, why is Rahul Gandhi running away from making a representation to the Election Commission on oath? Is it because he knows that false declaration is Punishable under Sec 31 of RP Act, 1950, or that presenting false evidence is Punishable under Sec 227 of BNS, 2023?
