You are incorrect
Michigan law 168.35:
Each voter must show a photo ID or sign an affidavit attesting that he or she is not in possession of photo identification.
An individual who does not possess, or did not bring to the polls, photo ID, may sign an affidavit and vote a regular ballot.
The rest of Florida law 101.043:
Acceptable Forms of ID:
Florida driver’s license
Florida ID card issued by the Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
U.S. passport
Debit or credit card
Military identification
Student identification
Retirement center identification
Neighborhood association ID
Public assistance identification
Not every debit and credit card has a picture on it.
Also 101.043:
If the elector fails to furnish the required identification, the elector shall be allowed to vote a provisional ballot. The canvassing board shall determine the validity of the ballot by determining whether the elector is entitled to vote at the precinct where the ballot was cast and that the elector had not already cast a ballot in the election.
Florida uses signature matching: the voter signs the provisional ballot envelope. That signature is compared to the signature in the voter registration records. If they match, the ballot is counted.
A signature verification is not a photo ID.
Ohio law §3503.16(B)(1)(a) and 3505.18(A)(1):
All voters must provide to election officials at the polling place on the day of an election proof of the voter’s identity. Also applies to voters requesting and voting an absentee ballot.
Acceptable forms of ID:
Current and valid photo identification, defined as a document that shows the individuals name and current address, includes a photograph, includes an expiration date that has not passed, and was issued by the U.S. government or the state of Ohio
Current utility bill
Current bank statement
Current government check, paycheck or other government document
Utility bills, bank statements, paychecks, et al do not have photos on them.
For voters without ID:
A voter who has but declines to provide identification may cast a provisional ballot upon providing a social security number or the last four digits of a social security number. A voter who has neither identification nor a social security number may execute an affidavit to that effect and vote a provisional ballot. A voter who declines to sign the affidavit may still vote a provisional ballot.
Voters who cast a provisional ballot because they did not provide acceptable proof of identity must appear in person at the board of elections to provide such proof within the 10 days immediately following Election Day. (see the Ohio Secretary of State’s FAQ on provisional voting)
How strictly counties interpret or apply the law? Have to agree county by county depending on Election officials, poll workers etc...
They passed voter ID but one scumbag commie judge postponed the implementation till after the election.Convenent wouldnt you say.
Louisiana law §18:562:
Each applicant shall identify himself, in the presence and view of the bystanders, and present identification to the commissioners.
If the applicant does not have identification, s/he shall sign an affidavit to that effect before the commissioners, and the applicant shall provide further identification by presenting his current registration certificate, giving his date of birth or providing other information stated in the precinct register that is requested by the commissioners. However, an applicant that is allowed to vote without the picture identification required by this Paragraph is subject to challenge as provided in R.S. 18:565.
