The trouble is you might want the serial enabled ones. When they upgrade to the next version only the serial numbers give you an upgrade. So do get the serial nos if you plan on using them longer.
we have some obsolete french stuff thats being phased out thats causing the crashes...

General Hal M. Hornburg told USA Today that India's Sukhoi Su-30 MKI multi-role fighters have been successful against F-15 C/D Eagle aircraft in mock combat. In fact, the Indians won 90% of the mock combat missions.
When is everyone finally going to figure out that India did not field the Su 30 MKI in Cope Thunder , they were the Su 30 K's/MK1's .
The Su 30 MKI has more design and performance characteristics similar to the Su 37 while not exactly the same and will be comparable to the F 22
India has a lot of illetrate people.(they have y no idear howto even spell their names and use the thumb print as their signature). Hmmmz how will he chose Mr Indian No1 or Mrs Italy Or Mr Goon ?
Well we have symbols associated with parties/candidates(btw there are a lot of people who do stand in the elections as independant cadidates some of them do win.... )
Eg : The BJP has a red lotus as its symbol...
Ok one Problem out of the way.
Next thing is how do ya make sure the same person does not vote again.
There has been a gradual evolution to prevent false votes.
1)They have issued Voter Id cards to most of the electorage
2)There is some indeliblie Ink Put on the Fingers of the voters a part of it on the flesh above the finger nails and a part of it below...
(hehe incase u thought u could just use a knife to scrape it off ur nails)
The goons did get around and find a solvent for the indelible ink....
Thats the story behind getting the elections done fair and square...
Now The EVM's.....
How do we ensure it works ?
hmmz consider the EVMs....
10 buttons 10 symbols/ names
U like Mrs Italy U chose her symbol (hehe ) or if u like the red lotus chose the same:)
Press the button and keep going home....
Now that aside how do we take care of the security aspect ?
Ok here are a few possible senarios that could happen....
Button1 Should Belong to Mrs Italy....
Button2 should Belong to Blue Lotus...
Button3 should Belog to the gunda near the Bus stand....
Hmmz the smart government official tags
No1 as Blue Lotus
No2 as Mrs Italy....
Hmmz beep beep there are agents form all the candiates in the condituency to check the evms... Do they have the symbols at the right place etc etc...
2) The voting booth is captured by goons and they start puching on the button of their fav gunda near the busstand...
Beep Beep India sets aside a lot of police personal for each of the booths. We have staggered polling so 3 days for the whole country. ParaMilitary personel....
That aside the EVMS can register only a set amount of votes every minute... So cant puch away darlings.... wont work....
3) Hack the system......
Hmmz not likely unless u are the person who gets into the high security valult like they do in the movie Mission Impossible part Duex ?
These Evms after the election are sealed and placed in boxes before the agents of the candidates and sealed in steel boxes... and set for safekeeping gaured by a lot of Men In Kakis......
These Evms are never online... never connected to any other device untill counting....
(They are more like ur gameboys not ATMS...)
What if the Ballot Boxes get hijaked ?
Simple if its true repolling!!!! lol so if the goons do get hold of stuff there is another local holiday coming along lol:)
Haha and forget the goons are are far too few of them for a country as big as India. We dont worry about them goons in 99% of the booths...
They restrict their activity usually to booths which are sometimes 10kms away from proper roads and stuff... so its understandable....
I hope the write up helps clear all your nagging questions...
Do i Think it works ? and am i Happy about it ?
120% I am happy with the way EVMS work...
Yep and u do get a beep after u have cast ur vote to help ya know u pressed a button and a light does go on for a second near ur candiates name (I am not too sure about the light its been 5 years since i cast my vote... Time to go check again and refresh my memory about the no nonsense approach to voting.... )
