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.

Someone in Wisconsin must’ve decided that communism isn’t really all it’s cracked up to be.
Does the decision change the outcome of the Wisconsin election? If Bite-me is still the corrupt winner, big whoop!
Yes it will likely fall on Trump’s shoulders. I do not envy him having to make the decision to invoke the 2018 EO and suspend this election until further notice. He has to play out the constitutional process until it fails first though.
So 150,000 ineligible votes were cast t hen? Note, I’m terrible at math, someone e correct me if I’m wrong?
Signature matching.
Many of them probably do not even exist or no longer reside in WI.
Fats of course
FROM THE RULING-—
Therefore, neither
county clerks nor an order of the Governor may declare persons
indefinitely confined.
FROM THE RULING-—
The statute
enumerates three reasons sufficient to constitute indefinite
confinement. When the legislature explicitly includes certain
conditions in meeting a statutory standard, we may presume that
the legislature purposefully excluded others.
“How will they know how these fake indefinitely confined voted? Is there a record? Also- anyone know how many votes is the gap?”
I am guessing each voter will be notified and must come forward and respond.
Any fraudulent votes would be exposed easily enough.
LOL!
Thank you. Too much disinformation here from fringe sources.
I don’t think so. It seems to my limited mind that all the votes were invalidated by the illegal actions of the county clerks. But of course don’t quote me on it. I’m not sure trumps team will have to identify who was truly eligible or not, but maybe someone more knowledgeable can wei g hin here
This is not the case that was argued on Saturday. This dates from September

Trump is out of time. The only solution at this point is martial law under the auspices of stopping a coup, based on the evidence at hand. And there is more than enough.
That is, unless we are all duped by fake news and CNN is right. :)
Yep. It’s time to be a CIC.
Now that’s funny, even though it hurts.
Thanks!
