In Spakovsky;s “Requiring Identification by Voters” the author counters that voter fraud is a threat too dangerous to leave unchecked. While neither Davidson nor Spakovsky fully explicates the intricacies of the issue or introduces an unchallengeable argument, the debate itself underscores an ideological tension between liberty and security. It is also clear to the reader that partisan interests inform both positions on Voter ID laws. In “Is There a Middle Ground in the Voter ID debate”, Edward Foley appeals to a compromise on the issue and strives to reconcile the concerns voiced in the other two articles.
