The not enclosed in secrecy envelope is referring to ballots set aside for some sort of error, not the ballots that were removed and put into the tabulators.
The only remedy they could come to now is to disqualify any and all votes counted after a certain time at the location that was counting those ballots and then destroyed the envelopes, either way the SC will be disenfranchising 1000s of valid votes. It would be the right thing to do but its a big step.
Our voting system is a complete fucking joke. If we enforced rules strictly with voter ID etc the Democrat party would be 1/5th its size.
Getting rid of all the ballots just because the state failed to keep the envelope would be an extraordinary remedy that would disenfranchise people through no fault of their own. At the same time though, counting those ballots without proof that they are legal would also be disenfranchising who cast legal ballots. It’s really a lose lose for the court to make that call. If the state acted contrary to a court order or statute it would make more sense to order the remedy. If the amount of ballots in question could change the results the fairest thing to do would probably just revote.

They did ignore the court order twice.
They may end up throwing out all ballots from that counting center from 8pm onwards.
They knew what they were doing and should not be rewarded for cheating.
