How does taking additional measures to prev it fraudulent voting automatically translate to disenfranchisement?

Because there are eligible voters who will not be able to meet the new requirements.
Take something as simple as a birth certificate.
I had to get a passport a few years back
I didn't have a birth certificate
I had to take time off work, travel several states over, present myself to the local clerk to get one
There are MANY people unable to do that simple task, age, distance, money, overseas..that simply won't be able to do that
I knew where I was born, which hospital, had some documents from my birth to prove my identity
There are many people who can't clear that simple hurdle
They might not know their birth parents, or the hospital they were born in or weren't even born in a hospital
Literally millions of people don't have birth certificates
To require one is to disengranchise a LOT of people
This is completely illogical. Why would only these 3 outlets represent a security risk and others do not and further what kind of sensitive information can the press pool really extract in the press room?
