I am trying to recall when i changed my party affiliation I think I also needed the PHOTO identification and maybe one other form......I may be getting that mixed with the various forms of identification used at DMV.
I might add I found voting by mail in 2020 a bit more difficult than going to the polls.....Although since all elections are run by the state, at my age, they all run together

You're definitely mixing up things. I registered to vote via mail. I changed my affiliation from unaffiliated to democrat just so I could vote in the democratic primary, and I did that online. I switched back to unaffiliated after the primary, again, online.
When I voted in person in the primaries, I was not required to show any ID at all, just my name and address, and they let me vote. When I voted early at the presidential election, I had to do it at the Lady Lake public library, and they checked my drivers' license to make sure I was who I said I was.
As long as you can prove that you are really you, that's all that SHOULD be required for the actual vote. If they need citizenship proof, then that should be part of the registration process.
Once you're registered, you shouldn't ever need to prove that you are a citizen of the USA. The fact that you ARE registered is proof enough.
