Key point of article was missed in the summary provided here:
States may impose different voter requirements on voters in state and local elections than those required for elections of candidates to federal offices (US Congress and presidency). It’s generally not done because of added cost and administrative burdens.
At present, it appears that Arizona is the only state to do this. They require proof of citizenship for state and local elections, but not for federal ones.
