The DoJ chose to pick a specific segment and base their argument on that, while the same could be said for the individual in QP Richards argument. Unfortunately, said segment also has a sizable population that reside in this country illegally, and who are not eligible to vote. By simply being here and present in this country in no way confirms that you are a citizen or not.
So, going back to trust:
To draw a simple parallel, passenger manifest(voter registration) with gate ID check(voter ID check): each is useless without the other, I might have confirmed who you are, but I don't know if you are supposed to be on this flight. And conversely, you may be on the manifest, but I have no way of confirming you are who you say you are.
