Postal Votes mean State Employees and Army Personnel- indeed a cross section of our society though not a perfect cross section. All service votes went to the ruling party BJP in spite of the opposition parties having the greatest number of government servants in their organizations made the people of India distrust the election processes. Anyway, more and more people have begun to distrust the electronic voting machines after the 2019 Parliament Elections in India and the demand for bringing back Ballot Papers is gaining strength.

BJP which had been steadily loosing polls in the state assembly elections throughout the country in 2018 securing 350 seats in the 2019 parliament elections made people suspicious of voting machines more than ever. In the coming years the campaign for Bringing Back Ballot Papers is only going to strengthen in India as it is already strengthening throughout the world. Many advanced countries- far advanced than India- are abandoning electronic voting machines for fear of massive manipulations and rigging and replacing them with Ballot Papers as earlier.

Governments want electronic voting machines to remain and people want them to go. We know why. Do not believe in people who shout machines are infallible and cannot be manipulated. They are those people who do not reveal personal details in social media like Face Book, Twitter and Linked In, fearing machines and systems would manipulate and misuse them!

Countries which first introduced electronic voting machines decades before are one by one returning to ballot paper! Countries which introduced electronic voting machines yesterday and day-before-yesterday are celebrating the wonders of electronic voting machines!! Even people who do not know how to say anything about voting machines without using one or two filthy words are staunchly supporting voting machines even without even hearing about the fierce struggle going on in far advanced countries against voting machines. The thing is the supporters of voting machines are now shrinking to authorities and the illiterate and uneducated fools who still remain the basic support base of electronic voting machines.

The BJP and the Election Commission never thought the enmity towards voting machines will become this much fierce and develop this much speedily in India. The most they expected was political parties would resist and file a few cases. They never thought people will take up this matter, superseding political parties. They have begun to recognize that someday the voting machines will have to go and the ballot paper will be brought back by people.

The support for voting machines is becoming very weak in India. It is now becoming limited to among BJP members and supporters and election commission officials. We still do not know even the election commission is unanimous in this matter. News of dissidence inside the commission is still coming out. It has now come to the point of the supporters of voting machines in India no more being able to sell their merchandise. That limited support for these machines outside the retinue of political and bureaucratic supporters of the ruling party too is drying up, like a rivulet emptying into a desert of dry sand. We now know why the support for voting machines is loosing grounds in India. Everyone educated and technically advanced are on the other side.
