"ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES still alot of problems with them, as we near the November elections your gonna hear alot of complaints, probably alot of lawsuits, Germany has done away with them, the Dutch have done away from them... but so many counties have them..."

India: The "story' behind Hari Prasad's arrest and its aftermath
http://www.indianevm.com/blogs/?p=412For most of you concerned about the plight of Hari Prasad, let me give you the good news. He is doing fine. On the legal front, the father-son duo of Ram Jethmalani and Mahesh Jethmalani, India's ace criminal lawyers whom I met yesterday in Mumbai agreed to defend Hari Prasad in the case. Mahesh Jethmalani will appear in court on behalf of Hari Prasad. Both the lawyers were horrified that a technologist with good intentions of strengthening democracy was being harassed in this manner raising serious question marks about the motives. Watch out for one of the most fascinating battles for saving democracy from one of the country's finest lawyers.
I made a day's trip to Mumbai yesterday to have a "feel' of the ground situation, to tie up the legal help and to explore other factors leading to the arrest. Some shocking facts have surfaced.
