Voting requirements and eligibility are set individually by each state, sometimes even in finer detail, New York City wanted to give immigrants the right to vote in local school board elections for example.
SSN are administered by the federal government and are opt-in(however most people apply for one) so it is not something a state can really use as a voting requirement.
State I currently live in(GA), you need to bring a photo ID for in person voting:
- Drivers License(from any state or federal government)
- State ID card
- Student ID card
- ID badge from any state or federal workplace
- Passport
- Military ID
- Tribal ID
Data was cross check to an online voter registration database.
Prior state (NC), I think the ID requirements were similar(possibly more relaxed) but at that time the data was checked to the voter roll, a book with the name and address of all the people in the precinct. When you went to vote, you signed by your name and then it was crossed off the list.
