Repost | "#EC should count 100% #VVPAT slips. Time to count VVPAT slips is equal to the time it takes to count #EVMs," former Chief Election Commissioner, SY Quraishi told @poonamjourno in this Dec 2020 interview.

Repost | "Many countries have stopped using #EVMs after finding out its vulnerabilities. But the #EC wants to maintain a cloak of secrecy around EVM-VVPAT. Why?"

Repost | According to the election rules, #EC should store #VVPAT slips for 1 year. But EC destroyed the VVPAT slips used in 2019 Lok Sabha Polls within 4 months. Why? Watch @poonamjourno's exclusive Feb 2020 report.

Repost | The EVM-VVPAT combination is vulnerable to manipulation due to a major technical glitch. But the #ElectionCommission remained silent in the face of direct and key questions asked by @poonamjourno in Oct 2019.

Repost | @poonamjourno's May 2019 investigation revealed discrepancies in multiple constituencies in the votes polled and counted in #LokSabhaElection2019. The #EC refused to explain the mismatch.

EVMs were found in BJP candidate's car and at the residence of a #TMC leader's relative. Wondering how #EVM-VVPATs can possibly be misused? Here's what experts tell @poonamjourno.
thequint.com/news/india/evm…
The Quint filed RTI queries with the #EC seeking data on the number of EVM votes polled for #BiharAssembly elections, 2020. However, we received replies from only 26 constituencies out of a total of 243. Why is EC hiding the data? @poonamjourno's report.

EDITOR'S NOTE: On 13 January, The Quint published a video titled ''How to Prove I’m Indian?’ Muslim Driver Breaks Down Over NRC Fear', in which a cab driver is seen speaking about his fears about a prospective nationwide NRC exercise.
(1/6)
thequint.com/news/politics/…
The driver has since been subjected to severe trolling on SM. For instance, on 15 Jan, Vivek Agnihotri tweeted, "Ok friends, I am told that this man is also a part time junior actor in Bollywood. He was paid by @TheQuint to do this performance in a written script."
(2/6)
The Quint would like to state the following:
➡️The concerned driver has confirmed to us that he has never been an actor.
➡️The original video was recorded by musician Sumit Roy, who has confirmed to us that the interaction was not scripted.
... contd.
