Consider that we've been using identification to vote for a long time. Things like a student I.D., utility bill etc... That's worked fine, but it's all too easy for a democrat to have these things. Hence the stricter requirements of what constitutes a valid form of identification. In Texas for example; the only things you can use are Department of Public Safety issued ID or some federal documents like a passport.
The fact that you can get a free ID eliminates the "poll tax" route.
