Libertarians are about individual accountability and responsibility.
If you are interacting with a government service or function, your citizenship by definition must be verified in most any Libertarian structure I've ever heard of. It is to verify you are a party to the social and legal contracts which govern voting.
Libertarian != Anarchic
Official Libertarian Party stance posted:
We oppose the issuance by the government of an identity card, to be required for any purpose, such as employment, voting, or border crossing.
We further oppose the nearly universal requirement for use of the Social Security Number as a personal identification code, whether by government agencies or by intimidation of private companies by governments. "
Keeping the whole quote for a righteous pwn. However, not for the reason you probably think.
I got lazy and used the capital 'L' as in the party. Not the lower-case 'l' to mean, general philosophy.
There's a REASON I am not a "Libertarian" party member, and it is the jack-ass-ed-ness involving their inability to put any practical, workable governance structure around most of their ideals. I've stated on the board before a for-instance of that: Ron Paul's foreign policy. "Just let it happen" is not a terribly good foreign policy stance or structure.
Libertarian (little l) ideals pretty much all begin with "consent of the governed" and "contract" and "social contract" somewhere in the first sentence or two. It's simply not possible to have a contractual relationship where one party is identified, and the other... isn't. Particularly an exercise decidedly about logging that every individual is indeed in a contract with the government and vice-versa (voting).

Semantic nonsense. Is not having an ID a crime in itself?

Of course not. Why would you even ask such a silly question?
BTW, do you like my idea? It solves the voter fraud issue without requiring IDs. The solution gives libtards everything they admit to wanting. Only reason they might oppose this idea is if there was something they wanted but were avoiding admitting.

Okay. Walk me through it. An 80 year old woman with no birth certificate or other means of ID manages to wheel herself to a police station and...?

The police identify her the way they would anyone else.
She votes and goes home.
Of course it wouldn't really be much of an issue since we both know she doesn't exist and even if she did exist she doesn't vote.

More like:
A thirty-five year old hispanic American shows up to a police station in Arizona and in Spanish, tells the Duty Officer he wants to vote but has no papers. The Sheriff walks in and says, "We got ourselves one now boys! Yeeehaw!" The duty officer says, "Squeeee!" in intimidating mockery. This is, of course, the signal for Officer Squee to come out and translate Spanish for the upstanding young American.
