...Especially all you data analysis warriors: They mentioned a digital log that stores all the mail-in ballot applications submitted via https://myvote.wi.gov/. What are the chances that since election night, this log has been adulterated with a shit ton of fake entries so that the count of applications more closely matches the count of potentially fraudulent ballots that were dropped off in the wee small hours? If these entries were computer-generated, and contained fake names, random/non-existent addresses, random drivers license numbers, etc. can we apply some of the same types of statistical analysis techniques to identify fraud patterns in the log? Just wondering if it might be worth pursuing because nothing is beneath these assholes and maybe they're panicking and getting sloppy now that the heat is on. (Btw, if it sounds like I'm talking out of my ass, I apologize. Admittedly, this isn't my area of expertise.)

They would have to fake the email on the front side. That would be a lot tougher to backdate.
I just double checked. It doesn't appear that an email address is required to request an absentee ballot in WI, only first and last name and birthdate, assuming the requester is already registered. If not, then they can register by also providing a residential address and a scan of a WI drivers license or state ID.
Well, I watched the entire meeting and the fact was stated that each request sent via electronic means has a record of the person requesting the ballot which then sends a ping to the electioneer to send the ballot. That is then subsequently logged. So there are two pieces of information for each ballot that is sent in this manner.
The entire crux is the electronic request. The logs will show ballots sent without ever having been requested. They will not be able to square the difference.
Edit: I guess they may also find ballots that were never requested or logged as well
