Now that this is over, it's the best time to note that there are enduring problems with our election process that need to be addressed for the long-term health of our democracy. I wrote about some of them here earlier: https://t.co/ejNXhqHZEQ A thread. (1/n)

The connection between Aadhaar and CAA is little known, but is key. This was the surveillance threat that anti-Aadhaar activists kept warning about and kept getting ignored for.
Enlightening talk by @jackerhack - https://t.co/p6ozrujdCP - goes from Aadhar, issues with it, it's history as a successor to NPR/NRC and links between the two.
