The new proposed instructions attempt to negate safeguards provided in the voter application.  The first item to be checked on a voter application is citizenship.  However, applications are NOT to be denied if it is LEFT BLANK!  The box indicating a felony conviction also can be LEFT BLANK.  Although the affirmation signed at the bottom attests that they meet the requirements for citizenship and the lack of a felony conviction, these new instructions effectively eliminate a double check that these requirements have been met.  And why would an applicant leave blank the very first item on the application that asks if they are a citizen?  You can see the potential for voter fraud, abuse and mistakes.  Furthermore, the omission of the SSN prohibits registrars from checking to see if the applicant is a convicted felon.
