The recent transformation of the state’s election laws explicitly enabled citizens to file unlimited challenges to other voters’ registrations. Experts warn that election officials’ handling of some of those challenges may clash with federal law.

I feel like this is under-thinking it a bit, but bear with me:
Birth certificate: Added to the list.
Death certificate: Removed from the list
Then it’s just a matter of checking age and voting in the correct precinct.
Except people move states. Or voting districts within a state. So you have to be on the right list after you move.
Birth certifications and death certifications aren’t universal. There’s plenty of cases where someone doesn’t have a birth certificate, or a death certificate is issued in error, while the individual is still eligible to vote.
And, as a general thought experiment: How many people live in the same state, much less voting precinct, when they turn 18 that they did when they were born? How do you track that?
