Remote Controlling EVM – Manufacturing Election Result

Remote Controlling EVM – Manufacturing Election Result

Senthilraja’s blog

A realistic Perspective of the Mass EVM Fraud:

Insertion of Trojan:

Many people claim that this possibility is low, as the number of persons involved in this process would be high, and that there are possibilities that it might be leaked out. While their point is valid, we can also consider the sivaganga constituency, where the result is changed at the last minute, but the news has been completely blocked. So, even if there is more number of people involved, the news might be prevented from leaking out.

Embedding of Minute Wireless Transmitter/ Receiver in EVM Chip:

news is about a HP chip, that stores 100’s of pages, and transmitts them via wireless, using bluetooth or other Radio Frequency.
And can you believe the size of that chip?
So, its entirely possible to embed such a wireless transmitter/receiver inside the control circuit of the EVM’s, and they can be controlled from any part of the world.

How the EVMs Could have been manipulated through remote control:

Can such a wireless component be detected or traced?
The wireless componenet in a chip, cannot be detected, unless, it transmits or emits signals. The Chip might have been programmed to transmit data only upon receiving certain command through specific frequency. In this case, the receiver component might be in listen mode, waiting for a particular command, known only to a core expert group. So, in a normal circumstance, this wireless component will be in hidden mode.


Can the architecture of the CHIP be verified?

What the political Parties (Mainly the opposition parties) can do now?
