A recent comment by Elon Musk has started a debate about the safety of EVM’s Rajeev Chandrasekhar, India’s Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, he said that Musk is factually incorrect to say that “anything can be hacked.”

How what is this whole argument about? let’s take a look. Recently Musk expressed concerns about electronic voting machines, suggesting they should be eliminated because of the potential risk of hacking by humans or AI, even if that risk is minimal.

expressed his view while sharing a post by Robert F Kennedy Jr, who initially wrote about EVM irregularities during elections in Puerto Rico and called for a return to paper ballots. This prompted a quick response from Rajeev Chandrasekhar, he suggested that EVM’s especially those using standard computing platforms and connected to the internet, should be eliminated because of the risk of hacking in the US and other regions.

However, Chandrasekhar clarified that this concern does not apply to India, where EVMs are custom-designed, secure, and isolated from any network or media, and called it a ‘sweeping generalisation’.
