Five categories, never conflated
The difference between these is the whole point. An attacked election is not the same as a falsified one.
The recorded numbers do not reflect the votes cast.
Process violationsUnequal media access, repression, illegal financing, vote buying, misuse of state resources.
Foreign interferenceCyberattacks, hack-and-leak, covert foreign financing, impersonation of media or institutions by a foreign state or proxy.
Information operationsTroll farms, fake local-media networks, covert political ads, coordinated inauthentic amplification — foreign or domestic.
Statistical anomaliesPatterns in the data worth examining — explicitly not proof of fraud.
A finding sits in exactly one category. Colors and icons carry the same meaning everywhere on the site.
From the case files
What was proven — and what was not
The clearest test of a trustworthy record is whether it can hold both statements at once.

What is established
- Information operationsConfirmed
OpenAI identified and disrupted a covert STOIC-operated campaign that used AI-generated comments to criticize the BJP and praise the Congress party during the election period; it reported disrupting the India-focused activity less than 24 hours after it began.

What is not established
- Information operationsDebunked
The measured activity did not achieve meaningful authentic engagement. OpenAI detected the India phase less than 24 hours after it began and assigned all disrupted operations a low breakout score.
More detail
This is a platform-side reach finding, not proof that no related content existed outside OpenAI's visibility.
Sources:1 - Result falsificationAlleged
No authoritative finding cited here establishes falsification of the count. The influence-operation report concerns online content generation and posting only, and does not address access to EVMs, VVPAT records, constituency counts or the official result; this is a limit of the available sources, not an audit that ruled falsification out.
