SIR Karnataka: Six major ‘conspiracies’ exposed in the final electoral roll

0
The author argues that for six cogent reasons, the final, post-SIR electoral roll has ensured the deletion of not just 99.3 lakh voters as has been admitted; this includes 75 lakhs of voters in the “shifted” and “absent” category; hence 99.3 lakhs plus another possible 27 lakhs by a gross under-representation of the elector-population ratio (EPR); roughly this means that the deletions swell to an approximate 1.26 crore voter deletions in total that is a staggering 18 per cent of the state’s electorate
