Plea For 100% EVM-VVPAT Verification : Live Updates From Supreme Court Hearing [Day 2]

Sankaranarayanan: VVPAT ceases to be independent verification unit the moment it is connected to ballot unit. The no. of VVPAT slips needs to be recorded somewhere

J Khanna: Little bit computers I know, flash memory is in the controlling unit

Bhushan disputes the same

Singh: Only 1 instance, no other

Court: Can we record?

Sankaranarayanan: Mr Singh says there is only 1 instant of mismatch, which we pointed out. ECI representative does not say so. They are admitting there are human errors

J Khanna (to Singh): What is being pointed out is not what you argued

Sankaranarayanan: Discrepancy was publicized. ECI could have explained. As far as the morning article, I am upset about attributions of motivation

Sankaranarayanan: we are not making allegations against ECI. what we are highlighting is we have doubts, and reasons for such doubts

J Khanna: they have explained the app error, 17A and 17C

Steephen: There are many phases in polling, but not counting. Counting should be on single day in general elections to give full trust to people

Steephen: digital data can be manipulated. paper slips can't be manipulated. both should be parallelly counted. after conclusion, comparison/tally both. paper slips should prevail in case of discrepancy. 100% tally is need of the hour

ECI official: regarding display window issue, it has never been changed

Bench: Okay
