EVM tampering in Arunachal elections
<b>Watch the youtube video below</b>

Repoll was ordered in two polling stations in otherwise peaceful Ziro. Reason - tampering of electronic voting machine which was started in India with much fanfare some years back.
The demonstrated tampering on a 1min. 18 sec video, is simple and dramatic. The sequence in which the four candidates were listed on EC documents were modified on the EVM polling unit. BJP-TMC candidates sequence was switched; INC-NCP candidates sequence was switched. IntenT? Simply to register BJP votes to TMC and vice-versa and INC Votes to NCP and vice-versa.
Did a similar switch take place during the Lok Sabha Elections in, say, select 100+ constituencies? If so, the EC should be made accountable in HC/SC to stop using the EVMs in future polls, until a proper audit trail is put in place and controls as in the case of ATMs of Banks.
