Bhushan: if there is a mismatch between VVPAT and EVM, they only let VVPAT count prevail in that polling station.
They do not check the others. They are only sampling 5 VVPAT machines.
Earlier they said that the discrepancy was because mock poll data was not cleared as if there is no possibility of manipulation.
Why not check the other VVPATs?

Court: at this stage, paper slip is not given. Voter can ask. But then the whole process has to stop and the machine has to be opened?
Is this rational? You can ask in case there is a discrepancy
Sankarayanarayan: there is a declaration that the voter has to sign. What have I gained? I am only pointing out a discrepancy

Court: candidate can ask for the counting or paper slips, and the election officer can pass an order. In case of a discrepancy, candidate can exercise their right
Sankaranarayanan: I am least concerned about the candidate. I am concerned about the voters fundamental right to know what happened to their vote.

Sankaranarayanan: these discrepancies from 2019 were accepted by a Parliamentary committee which said that the EC did not respond to them.
If this has happened, can we doubt the system? Otherwise you can say there is a huge population.
I am not saying anyone did anything. I am saying there is high chance of error.
