First, I was asked to provide a "government issued" identification card, which turned out to be my driver's license that cost me about $60 two years ago. This results is a de-facto $60 poll tax to vote in Lewsiville, Texas, on its face. I paid the $60 poll tax before I thought it through.
Second, when I asked for a paper ballot, I was informed that such did not exist and that I would be required to vote on a computer. I left without attempting to legitimize the illegitimate.
Having been a 2008 U. S. Presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party, I can say with first hand authority that computer voting is illegitimate. I watched one computer poll after another be broken into by hackers back then, they then laughing at us on the Internet at their achievement. A computer vote is a poll subject to manipulation and cheating, only the hackers don't advertise their activity when they are done, making illegitimate the vote.
I am about to complete this week my fourth university class dealing with political topics, and every class I've had unanimously ridicules to the point of laughter the idea of voting on a computer being legitimate.
Our system of voting has become an Orwellian dystopian interpretation of jabberwokish doublespeak. My suggestion to the citizens of Lewisville, as a citizen of 34 years, a former political candidate and a current pre-law student is that they think long and hard in paying taxes to an illegitimately elected city government.
