It's quite simple, some states want to allow voting without identity cards that prove that they are citizens of the country.

I don't know of any other country that would allow it, but I know other countries where people in power used other ,,tricks'' to increase the chance of being reelected

There's no evidence of noncitizens voting in meaningful numbers, but I'm aware that's a popular right-wing talking point.

You changed what I wrote: it's not about non-citizens voting or not, it's about requiring identification by law at polling, which is required in every other democratic country.

As an example in in late 2024 in California Governor Newsom signed SB 1174, which explicitly prohibits local governments (like cities or counties) from passing their own laws to require voter ID.
