That's right - they're not networked.. but the point is that it saves hell lot of paper.
Now India is too big country with a big big population. Now analyse paper ballots for each guy in the population and boxes to store them. Counting process itself used to take a lot of time.EVM's save time and paper.Add that to cost of printing the paper.

yes lame ass - just check out the american companies making business in india.pepsico, coke, amex, citibank - the list goes on.NOW U GO BACK TO UR CUBE.
