In America, while you demonstrate what a racket e-voting is, you get to play Pac-Man. In India? You simply might get arrested. Security researcher Hari Prasad made waves earlier this month when he demonstrated how an e-voting machine is likely to be compromised, live to tell the tale national television. That is now being reported that police have taken Prasad into custody, ostensibly for the theft of the machine, although folks within the know are suggesting that a cover-up is within the works. For Prasad’s part, he refuses to offer up the source of the machine — and has been taken by police to Mumbai (a fourteen hour drive) to undergo questioning. In keeping with researcher Alex Halderman there are some 1.4 million e-voting machines in use in India, all of which the govt. keeps out of the hands of researchers on intellectual property grounds — and all of that may be liable to fraud. There’s a temporary discussion with Prasad after the break.
