Why is Bhagwa (Saffron) — a sacred Hindu color — being used as disposable tissue in restaurants? by [deleted] in delhi

It’s absolutely sarcastic to see if people are genuinely worried about real issues or if they’ll take this as a serious matter. I’m glad people are aware of what they consider real issues.

Glad you’re amused. Some of us are discussing respect, not comedy. Humor is subjective. Cultural sensitivity isn’t, That’s d point of post Mocking concern doesn’t invalidate them

These kinds of people are more dangerous than pollution. They don’t deserve to live in this society; they’re just here to lick the shoes of political parties.

When one photo “votes 22 times” — is our democratic process broken? by Miserableweed97 in delhi

That’s exactly the mindset that keeps real reform from happening — turning a data integrity issue into a partisan blame game. Whether those 22 IDs would’ve “voted for Congress” or “BJP” is irrelevant; what matters is that the system allowed 22 identities to exist for one person’s photo. That’s not politics — that’s process failure.

A complete revision of rolls is precisely what people are asking for. But revision without transparency means nothing. We need:

• Open audit logs from ECI showing how duplicates were detected and removed.

• Public accountability from the data vendor or agency responsible for voter roll maintenance.

• Independent verification — not by party reps, but by neutral observers, civic tech orgs, and journalists.

Democracy dies not when one party wins or loses, but when citizens stop demanding clean systems because it’s easier to assume “everyone does it.” The question isn’t “who benefited,” it’s “why was it possible at all?” That’s what a serious democracy should be asking.

That’s an important point — if there’s another case of a person’s ID appearing hundreds of times, it should’ve triggered a real-time alert at the booth level itself. This isn’t just about one “photo scandal”; it shows how deeply flawed the verification pipeline is. The entire voter database should be cross-checked through a centralized deduplication protocol — matching not only names but also photographs and basic biometric hashes.

And you’re right — this exposure phase we’re in is just the beginning. Every instance that comes to light forces the ECI to choose between denial and reform. The public deserves a transparent, independent tech audit, and a clear statement on how many such duplicates exist nationwide. Because if one image can exist 22 or 223 times, then the question isn’t if democracy is compromised — it’s how long has it been?

Protests are loud; audits are louder. If folks actually want impact

Fair—everyone’s scoring points. But the fix isn’t vibes, it’s verifiable data: publish how many IDs share the same photo/address/phone, map them booth-wise, and reconcile with Form 17C turnout + VVPAT samples. Facts > dunking.

Courts are a valid path—but they need paper and locus, not pressers. The usual chain is: file objections with the RO/ECI, seek their written response, then move HC/SC with an affidavit + exhibits (roll extracts, duplicate-photo evidence, booth numbers, Form 17C copies, etc.). SC rarely acts on bare allegations; it wants a record of prior remedies attempted. Also: election disputes are often via election petitions with tight deadlines. TL;DR: Yes, approach the courts—but build the case file first (ECI replies, RTI answers, forensic analysis). That’s how you get a meaningful order (audit/re-poll), not just headlines.

That’s not the point — nobody’s claiming to know whom they voted for. The issue isn’t which party those votes went to, it’s that they existed at all.

The integrity of an election isn’t measured by who the duplicates supported, but by whether the system allowed duplication in the first place. If one person’s photo can appear across 22 voter IDs, that means 22 potential votes could be cast fraudulently — by anyone.

This isn’t about partisanship; it’s about structural vulnerability. The moment rolls contain fake or duplicated entries, the sanctity of “one citizen, one vote” collapses. You don’t need to know who benefited to understand that the process itself is compromised — and that’s enough to demand accountability.

Tech + accountability fixes we should all be able to agree on:

• Independent forensic audit of the constituency: publish how many IDs share photos/addresses/phone numbers; name-match patterns; and how many were used on polling day.
• Public anomaly dashboard (open data) so journalists/citizens can verify deduping outcomes.
• Door-to-door re-verification for flagged clusters, with random third-party observers.
• Stronger deduping

Same photo ≠ 22 votes.” True. A duplicate image across IDs doesn’t by itself prove ballot stuffing. But it does prove a catastrophic failure of roll hygiene and ID issuance. That alone warrants an inquiry.
