Two different cases entirely. The WI implementation was delayed due to time
constraints and mail ballots had already gone out without ID requirements.
The WI ID law wasn’t struck down.

In the Texas case, the ID Law was struck down by a lower court judge saying it
was tantamount to a poll tax. The SCOTUS decision reversed that decision by
the lower court, but the validity of the law wasn’t addressed. That will have
to come in a separate court case.

Indiana has photo ID. Apparently, IN has a provision for people who do not have appropriate ID. If those people want to vote, they have to sign an affidavit essentially saying that they are who they are and then cast their vote. If needed, the voter must produce the proper ID and their vote will be counted.
