I would like evidence of the burden he speaks about.

There's an extensive debate about it, but you wouldn't know if you only watch FOX.

Obtaining a “free” voter identification card can typically cost an individual between $75 and $175. When legal fees are factored in, the cost can increase to over $1,000. These are two of the conclusions drawn from an analysis of actual expenses incurred by individuals who needed to obtain identification cards in three states that had recently passed new voting requirements. “The High Cost of ‘Free’ Photo Voter Identification Cards,” (PDF, 3.1 MB) a new report authored by Richard Sobel and released by the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice at Harvard Law School, notes that, even when the card itself is free, “voter IDs are expensive, often prohibitively so.”

The bill ended two waivers that made it easier to vote: qualified voter affidavits, which allowed registrants to attest to their U.S. citizenship on penalty of perjury; and challenged voter affidavits, which allowed voters whose ballots were challenged on Election Day by an officially designated challenger from each party to cast their vote anyway while the challenge was pending.  

Now, plaintiffs say the law violates the First and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution by placing severe and unjustified burdens on the right to vote. 

if all you know is what you learn from FOX, you don't know anything at all.
