[QUOTE="soonerwings, post: 1331827, member: 8035"] Then it seems the only disagreement you and I have is what constitutes a "reasonable safeguard". I believe that requiring an ID at the polls is a reasonable safeguard because it acknowledges that some people may try to cheat (therefore infringing on the liberties of honest citizens) and takes measures to prevent fraud without targeting any specific group or individual. I see it as the same sort of reasonable safeguard as posting speed limits and hiring officers to patrol the highways. No one is specifically targeted, and the whole population benefits. To me, this sort of measure increases liberty rather than detracts from it. As for term limits, I view them as an abomination, but I'm somewhat of an idealist. I don't believe that anyone should ever be limited to who they vote for. If the public wants to cry foul about career politicians it is entirely within their power to remove them. [/QUOTE]
