This is good news. It is better than a ruling of “no standing.” Hopefully Giuliani and the rest of Trump’s legal team can use this to make an argument to Congress that the electoral college vote should be delayed after December 14, 2020.

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

Voter has to justify his qualification.

Once the ballots are in there is no way to separate votes.

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

from Article: “But the court noted that a determination must be made in every case before tossing a ballot”

Yes it would be fraud.

But, President Trump would have to challenge each ballot one by one to prove each person lied. Time is against President Trump.

That is not good, the legal team would not be able to challenge each voter.

The State employees can’t just send out the unrequested absentee ballots with their own made-up reason for sending them.

At least, that’s my take.

This idiocy is the only way these kinds of ballot numbers, in the hundreds of thousands, can be reached, so it’s a good call to stop it. A little late, but a good call.

How do you toss a ballot that has been comingled?

I don’t think there is a way, but it still fuel for the law makers to make a stand at the State Level.

So Trump’s team would have to go to each and every voter to determine whether they went to Walmart or the Post Office or anywhere else at the time that they requested their ballot. He only needs 20,000 to toss those votes, but he also needs to identify them as Biden voters.

FROM THE RULING-—

To answer these questions, we interpret Wis. Stat.
§ 6.86(2)(a) (2017–18).1 In so doing, we conclude § 6.86(2)(a)
requires that (1) each individual elector make his or her own
determination as to whether the elector is indefinitely confined;
(2) an elector’s determination may be based only upon age, physical
illness or infirmity; and (3) an elector is indefinitely confined
for his or her own age, physical illness or infirmity, not those
of another person.
¶3 Accordingly, we conclude that the Respondents’
interpretation of Wisconsin election laws was erroneous.
Additionally, we conclude that Emergency Order #12 did not render
all Wisconsin electors “indefinitely confined,” thereby obviating
the requirement of a valid photo identification to obtain an
absentee ballot.

However, the ballots have already been separated from the envelopes, so there is no way now to "uncount" the illegal ballots.

“This fall, roughly 215,000 voters in Wisconsin said they were indefinitely confined, nearly a four-fold increase from the 2016 election.”

Actually, what REALLY happened was that the Socialist Democrats of Wisconsin mailed out ballots to EVERYONE IN WISCONSIN- living or dead, and those that came back were most likely marked as such, because, well, the reason they sent every living soul in Wisconsin a ballot in the FIRST PLACE was because our dip-shiite Governor was changing his mind by the DAY whether to lock us all down on Election Day!

Also - an easy way to CHEAT - as people were saying when PA started this foolishness. (Yes, I know a few other states have mail-in ballots, only. And those would be BLUE states, no?)

Beau and I each got ballots; we never requested them. So did my deceased Dad! We shredded them all and voted in person.

Still waiting for Wisconsin to update her Voter Rolls (45 days post election - another DEADLINE ignored!) to see if my Dad ‘voted’ or not. Grrrrr!

Okay, so there’s a bunch of takeaways I see from this:
1. This is probably a final decision. While the Dems may wish to appeal to SCOTUS, I can’t see them even taking the case.
2. So now there’s 215,000 votes in limbo. Does that mean somebody is gonna have to make 215,000 phone calls to ascertain ‘indefinitely confined’? What kind of quiz would be involved: “Were you able to leave your home at any point in the first week of November?” If so, you’re not indefinitely confined... or would they simply take an assent on that question?
5. Finally... how would they match up people with vote results - that’s supposedly secret, right?
3. How soon could this possibly get resolved — 215,000 votes is a lot.
4. How many people would be called who answer “what? I didn’t send a mail ballot!”

Fake news. Trump LOST 4-3. People are quoting from the 3 dissenting opinions.
