Gomes says there was a demo of EVM Machines. Nine votes were given to each
party. But the results were shocking. In spite of equal votes to each party
during the mock voting, BJP got highest number of votes. He questioned the
whole situation and said that this shows that the democracy is in great danger. Even in Quepem there were faults in EVM Machines.
Opposition leader Babu Kavlekar provided information about this:
In Gaokarwaddo booth of Mayem constituency, there was a glitch in
the EVM machine in the morning which made people wait for almost an hour.

replaced the machine. This is what Siolim locals have to say about glitches in
