I didn't have to show ID or sign anything to match signatures, or give them my birthdate or anything else to indicate that I really was who I said I was.

And therein lies the problem. You should have been asked and should have been verified. Under that scenario, any other person of the same sex could walk in, give your name and address, and steal your vote. Not saying it WOULD happen, but it COULD happen. And that is why this whole issue needs to be carefully thought out. Plan for the worst and hope for the best.
