Interesting events but differing reasons being used in each situation.
The Texas ruling was struck down by the Judge. In Wisconsin the SCOTUS

“That was one of the main arguments that opponents of the law had made — that
it was too late to put this law into effect this year,” Pam tells Morning Edition.
“It had been on hold for two years until in September a federal court ruled
that it could go into effect. But by that time, the state had already sent out
hundreds of absentee ballots that did not include ID instructions. So
election officials were going to have to track down each of those voters and
have them send in a copy of their ID so their votes would count, which was
quite a mess. Now those votes will count.”
