The US doesn't have a cheap, nationally available id, so requiring one would disenfranchise a lot of poor people. Instead you need to be registered to vote and they make sure you don't vote twice at the booth.

It seems to work, there's only very, very few cases of voter fraud (and they rarely had anything to do with someone misidentifying themselves).
