We didn't have to show ID either - and it bothers me. Like others have said, what's to prevent me from going to other polling places and saying I'm someone else?
As far as the argument about poll tax - just have the states automatically provide a free ID when someone registers to vote, and make it clear that it will be required to be shown when you vote. I realize it's not quite as simple as all that - but it really isn't difficult, either.
