The US constitution does apply --- equally --- in all states. Sure. And the constitution does not (at least not according to any USSC decision or clearly and obviously from the plain text), require that voting rules be the same if different states. It does (or at least the USSC said it did in Bush vs Gore) require that individual states treat votes within their jurisdiction in the same way. The constitution (and USSC court interpretations of it) applying equally in all states, in this context, means that other states (not just FL which Bush vs Gore dealt with) would not be allowed to count votes from different areas or cities or counties, in different ways. Bush vs Gore said nothing about rules being different in different states, and it also said nothing (either within FL or generally across the country) about ID requirements.
