In their wordsVerbatim, exactly as submitted

“Broadly in favor of mild adjustments proposed. This might help prevent the undead 135 year olds from voting, when they appear to be 32.”
— tom luther, claremontsupports
“Just one more bit of data to be tracked by heaven knows who.”
— Sharon Beaty, Keeneopposes
“This bill is an invasion of privacy for every voter. Given the proof of identity is now required this requirement is unncessary and involves collection and potential exposure of information that should otherwise be private.”
— Karen Burnett-Kurie, Wolfeboroopposes
“You don't need to know a voter's DOB. Teenagers won't register to vote anyway unless dragged by their parents. Focus on integrity of elected officials.”
— Jennifer McCarthy, Intervaleopposes
