Honestly asking... Is the USA just ahead of everyone else when it comes to not disenfranchising voters?

You don't need to show ID to vote at a polling place in Australia. And you don't need ID to enrol to vote.
I can't comment on the countries in the picture you've linked. I'll guess that most or all of them make it both easy and required to have a national ID card. That is not the case in the United States.
Consider a working class non-driver who has never travelled overseas. What is their ID?
Would you propose a new state or federal ID card? Great. How likely is it that the state or federal government will produce a system for issuing these that is easy to access, widely available, free, quick to issue IDs, etc? How likely do you think it is that politicians will attempt to modify the system for issuing these IDs so that their opponents' voters will find it more challenging to receive them?
If your answer is "likely" and "unlikely" respectively, you are naive to the history of voter disenfranchisement and vote-system-gaming in the United States. Much of it is based on race.
ID is required in some places like Northern Ireland. Iirc, the UK poll card isn't 'typically' or ID required in England, Whales, Scottland)
But as of 2018 that's changing when some districts required ID for the first time. Although last I heard, laws suits on that were still going on.
Your list is also without sources and presenting an oversimplification of laws to the point of being presented in bad faith, with intentional misrepresentation of the original data. Your list is a lie of checkmarks, intended for propaganda and not to inform the reader.
Tell me more about Canada, this implies you may be mistaken. https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=vot&dir=ids&do...
> Option 3: If you don't have ID
lays it out pretty clearly:
> You can still vote if you declare your identity and address in writing and have someone who knows you and who is assigned to your polling station vouch for you.
No ID needed, anywhere in Canada, ever, to vote. Period.
And I made no assumptions whatsoever in my post. It is your graphic that is full of false assumptions.
Canada very effectively requires ID to vote, sorry that offends you.
> That person needs ID to be assigned to their polling station to vouch for you.
That is absolutely not true. The site says,
> The voucher must be able to prove their identity and address. A person can vouch for only one person (except in long-term care institutions).
Nothing about ID. Just "prove their identity and address", which does not require ID.
> Canada very effectively requires ID to vote, sorry that offends you.
This is false. I am not offended by facts, or by your lies.
Canada does not require ID to vote. You are spreading lies by continuing to state that it does.
Have you ever lived there? Do you know anything about Canada from experience? You are lying and citing false information to claim falsehoods that are extremely dangerous.
Canada does not require ID to vote. Period.
