“According to Dustin Czarny, the Democratic elections commissioner of Onondaga County, under this bill, voters would need to provide a passport or birth certificate when registering and at the polls because New York driver’s licenses do not attest to citizenship on their face.”

This is a simplified version of requirements, applicable to those voters and potential voters who never had a name change from adoption, marriage(s), or post divorce(s) name change(s), or for security reasons, etc..For those needing a verifiable audit trail of change(s), especially over decades/generations, this requirement can be expensive and time-consuming, especially when residence has changed over their adult lives.
Cost has to be born by the individual, often presenting difficulty from lack of access to any documentation. How many elderly/retired have the financial resources and ability to gather a lengthy history of documents? What is the realistic risk from someone who has been a registered voter for decades/generations not being a citizen? $160 for a passport is cost prohibitive for people already having to choose between buying food and buying medicine.
Should voter rolls be purged by select States, what effect would that have on services when voters realize, perhaps late in the process, they are no longer registered?
ADDITIONALLY, it does not seem apparent to the party that dominates the poorest of our states that they would be disenfranchising their own voters, IMO.
