"It has little impact on the overall results as it is just one to three machine.",

context = """
In many democratic countries that employ the First Past the Post (FPTP) electoral system, elections are often decided by a small number of votes. Candidates frequently win or lose by margins of a few hundred or even fewer votes. In such scenarios, manipulating even a single EVM in a constituency can have a substantial impact. If an EVM is rigged to favor a particular candidate, it could potentially swing the result in their favor, especially in tightly contested races.
