This is a plea to the hackers of Slashdot to help secure the future of the largest democracy on the planet. Each party can nominate three experts -- though India's Aam Aaadmi Party is already complaining that there's too many terms and conditions. And party leader Sanjay Singh has said he also wants paper ballots for all future elections, arguing "All foreign countries like America, Japan, Germany and Britain have gone back to ballot paper."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
