00:00this is the challenge here this is seven feet of paper
00:07as you can see
00:12you have to sort through every single one of these so let's suppose i want to find out if
00:21you have voted twice or if your your name occurs twice in the voter list i have to take your picture
00:30and then i have to compare it to every single
00:34bit of paper and say this photo here let me show you
00:39this list
00:44so then we have to take this individual photo and we have to take it and look in every single
00:52sheet that's the process and it's a very tedious process
01:00i had initially thought that we will do multiple seats but when we faced this we realized
01:09why the election commission doesn't give us electronic data because they don't want us
01:15to look carefully right
01:19and this was this task took us six months so what you're going to see here
01:23for six months of the work of 30 to 40 people non-stop comparing names comparing addresses comparing pictures
01:33and we have done the work for one assembly constituency if you want to do the work for
01:41one log sabha that's in karnataka that's seven
01:47that's seven of those right so you can imagine the the task that we are being forced to do now analyzing
01:55this if the election commission gave us electronic data 30 seconds right and i repeat
02:05this is why we are being given data like this so that it is not analyzed
02:10next now sorry just go back there's another very interesting thing that we discovered
02:19which came as a shock to us which is that these papers that are given
02:26they themselves do not allow for optical character recognition
02:31so if you scan them you can't actually get the data out of them and we were surprised why
02:40why is the election commission protecting these pieces of paper
02:44okay you don't want to use soft copy but you protect them right and
02:51you see deliberately provides non-machine readable papers this was another thing that we when we
02:56we discovered it we like this is strange next
