The post had written about EVM glitches
Robert F. Kennedy had written about EVM glitches during the elections in Puerto Rico at the beginning of his post. In fact, US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., citing the Associated Press, wrote in the post, “Many flaws have been found in the voting related to electronic voting machines in the primary elections of Puerto Rico. It is good that there was a paper trail, so this problem was caught and the number of votes was corrected.”
Fear of hacking elections
He said in his post, what will happen in those areas where there is no paper trail? American citizens will have to find out that all their votes were counted. He further said that elections cannot be hacked. To avoid electronic interference in elections, we will have to return to ballot paper.
Election Commission also took a big step
The Puerto Rican Election Commission had initially announced that it was reconsidering its contract with the American electronic voting company after finding flaws in the voting after voting. Jessica Padilla Rivera, interim president of the Puerto Rican poll body, said during an interview that the problem has come to the fore due to a software flaw.
