BREAKING: Wisconsin Supreme Court says election officials were wrong; ballots may not be counted
Election Wiz ^ | 12/14/2020 | 11:15 AM ET

MADISON — The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Mark Jefferson and the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

The opinion, which was released this morning, says local elections officials were wrong to suggest that voters could claim the status of “indefinitely confined” based on COVID-19. The majority decision also held that if voters falsely claimed they were indefinitely confined “their ballots would not count.”

But the court noted that a determination must be made in every case before tossing a ballot, as President Trump has sought in a separate lawsuit.

Under Wisconsin law, a voter may receive a ballot by mail and bypass Wisconsin’s voter ID law, if the voter, by his own determination, concludes he “confined” based on age, physical illness, or infirmity. This fall, roughly 215,000 voters in Wisconsin said they were indefinitely confined, nearly a four-fold increase from the 2016 election.

The court said the government’s interpretation of Wisconsin’s indefinitely confined was erroneous. “A county clerk may not “declare” that any elector is indefinitely confined due to a pandemic,” the court said. The court further stated that, “…the presence of a communicable disease such as COVID-19, in and of itself, does not entitle all electors [voters] in Wisconsin to obtain an absentee ballot…”

Moreover, the court stated that lockdown orders do not meet the requirements under Wisconsin law to allow a voter to claim the status of “indefinitely confined” either.

In its final decision, the justices concluded that it’s up to each voter — not the county clerks or anyone else — to decide if and when they qualify as indefinitely confined.

After a string of defeats in court, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling comes as much needed victory for President Trump and his allies.

In a sharply divided decision the court ruled unanimously in favor of Trump.

Woohoo!

So this is sufficient to win Wisconsin, provided they can make the determinations and do it fairly.

Michigan court just determined that dominion systems were programmed to cheat.

Any state that used dominion voting is now in question.

They affectively said that they lied when they said it was the glitch when Trump votes were switched to Biden

This cannot stand. If state legislators do not do their jobs here, POTUS must exercise his powers.

“In its final decision, the justices concluded that it’s up to each voter — not the county clerks or anyone else — to decide if and when they qualify as indefinitely confined.”

So the voter can decide if they qualify so the votes will stand. Is this a way to still count those votes?

If the voter misrepresents they are indefinitely confined and they are not, that would be fraud. No?

The release of the forensic audit data from the Antrim County, MI voting machine. Well-written Order by the judge that allowed the release of the data.

It appears that it will have to come down to that. SCOTUS has decided they don't want to hear or see any evil, and hope the whole thing will simply go away. The president might be the only person left at this point who can save the Republic.

Here’s the thread on the Antrim County, MI machine. The quote from the judge’s Order is near the bottom of the first page.

because it was the county clerk who made the determination, not the voter, and this was the illegal point
