Seventy-year-old Gauthami emerged from the polling booth at SNVSUPS, Eroor, in Thripunithura Assembly constituency a sweaty and frustrated soul. She had taken her place in the queue right at the beginning of polling only to be told that she will have to wait as the Electronic Voting Machine has developed a snag even before a single vote was cast.
