"This is the only way to tackle machines, that you vote in large numbers. We have developed a website as a precautionary measure. Learning a lesson from the Maharashtra and Haryana elections, we have decided that on the night of 5th February, we will upload 6 details of every polling booth so that the machines can't be tampered with.

If they cause any discrepancy on the day of counting, you can match the numbers."
