In the case of Wisconsin one of the reasons for this ruling is that the absentee ballots have already been sent out without any kind of information in them that tells the voters they must including a copy of their photo ID with their ballot for it to be counted.

Without that notice many people will not realize that they have to include their ID with their ballot and therefore their vote will not count.

In many other cases these laws aren't simply about requiring people to show ID at the polls. In many cases they actually include provisions to help those that can't afford an ID to get one for free (or very cheap), but they also limit voting hours, cut down early voting days, put limits on where you can vote, and the dates you are allowed to register to vote. They clearly are trying to limit the number of people who cast votes.
