Answer:
(a) If the malpractice has been proved in a court, the elections should be declared null and void and re-election should be held in that constituency. The officer in-charge of the counting should be given strict punishment for committing such irregularity. The system of counting should be such that the counting officer cannot be able to do this. In India, this is not possible as counting agents of all the candidates are present in the counting centre and counting of votes takes places in their presence.
(b) To issue such a poster is definitely an electrol malpractice. The circulation of such a poster should be checked immediately. The source of the poster— a person, candidate or political party should be found out a punished, as it violates the principle of democratic elections.
(c) Since each state in the USA has it own method of voting, its own procedure of counting and its own authority for conducting elections, the decisions taken by the state of Florida must be according to the election laws passed by that state. No one could challenge those decisions as those must have been taken in accordance with the laws made by that state. In India, since states are not authorized to make their own laws for election, such a situation cannot arise.
