Iowa does not require voters to show ID. Despite that, the Romney campaign posted on YouTube a video instructing its poll watchers in Iowa to challenge the ballots of voters who didn't show ID. That video was removed from YouTube by the Romney campaign and replaced with an altered version after ThinkProgress exposed the first one, excerpted below.
ThinkProgress asked a representative at the Iowa Secretary of State’s office whether it would be incorrect to say that voter ID is required in Iowa. “That’s right,” she confirmed. Voters do not need ID on Election Day; they can show a current utility bill (including cell phone bill), bank statement, paycheck, or other government document, but are not required to do so.
