Former Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar engaged in a debate with Elon Musk over the security of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) following Musk’s comments on Twitter about their vulnerability. Musk’s remarks were prompted by issues reported in Puerto Rico’s primary elections. Chandrasekhar defended Indian EVMs, emphasizing their custom design, security measures, and isolation from networks. Musk maintained his stance that “anything can be hacked,” citing concerns from experiences with other voting systems. The debate highlighted global concerns over EVM security, despite assurances from India’s Election Commission on safeguards and the integrity of their EVMs.
