I'm sure you know more about the electoral process than I do(considering you said you've volunteered before). Do states leave it up to individual poll workers to suss out if someone is eligible to vote?
If a person is registered to vote, and in some states is required to show an ID, they can vote. These couple workers seem confused(especially about what dreamer/DACA means), and the first one even speculates that the guy isn't registered to vote.
Seems like a lame attempt to allege basically non-existent voter fraud.
Here in MN, election judges are trained with the following manual:

When presented with a Minnesota license, look for a “status check” notation in the lower right-hand corner. If you see this, it indicates the voter was not a citizen at the time they applied for the license. They may or may not have become a citizen since obtaining the license. If they state they are eligible to vote, you or the Head Judge must follow the Roster Challenge Procedures found on page 38.
I can tell you first hand that tonight, my election judge refused to look at the identification I presented to him. They can't say a person is ineligible if they refuse to look, and they're not required by law to look here.
