(a) An elector who is indefinitely confined because of age, physical illness or infirmity or is disabled for an indefinite period may by signing a statement to that effect require that an absentee ballot be sent to the elector automatically for every election. The application form and instructions shall be prescribed by the board, and furnished upon request to any elector by each municipality. The envelope containing the absentee ballot shall be clearly marked as not forwardable. If any elector is no longer indefinitely confined, the elector shall so notify the municipal clerk.
That's helpful. It doesn't say a person has to be "indefinitely confined" to receive and cast an absentee ballot. It says they have to be "indefinitely confined" to have "an absentee ballot be sent to the elector automatically for every election" and this particular category of absentee ballots "shall be clearly marked as not forwardable" (not the case with absentee ballots requested for a specific election date, as those are intended for people who will be out of town, e.g. for work, and may need to have the ballot forwarded in order to receive it).
That may be what it says on the request form, but in did it on the last 2 elections simply because it was easier. And then this year Trump encouraged us to vote early, so I did it again.
Source? And do you mean just the existence of the pandemic is not allowed as a reason? Because I strongly suspect that a physician's documented advice to remain at home due to a medical condition that places a person at heightened risk for severe/fatal COVID disease would qualify, and that's a category that certainly would have drastically increased this year.
In wi, you can get a mail in ballot simply by asking for one - no excuse needed.
Voting early was done using the mail in ballot system (fill out, put it on the envelope, and hand it right back at city hall). Everyone including Trump was encouraging people to vote early.
Ok posted to my little insurgent work group... we are a bit outnumbered here but we fight any work post against Trump. They post and we scrap with them into submission... so it's a bit quiet in the "Random" channel politically... some hilarious REEEEEEEEEEEES... "He(Trump) is the greatest liar in the history of public life."
Say it with me, “There is clear EVIDENCE of election fraud.”
These faggots on TV are lying to you if they say there isn’t.
Also, if they talk about anything not related to election fraud, turn it off because there is nothing more important than this right now; the frogs turning gay can wait.
We are not segregating them. Both sides agreed to trust the numbers reported above as accurate. They will be counted as part of the recount but the Trump team is still expected to file a lawsuit related to them.
Any qualified elector (U.S. citizen, 18 years of age, who has resided in the district in which he or she intends to vote for at least 28 days) who registers to vote is eligible to request an absentee ballot. Under Wisconsin law, voters do not need a reason or excuse, such as being out of town on Election Day, to vote absentee. Any voter who prefers to vote by absentee ballot may request one. You have several options for requesting an absentee ballot and casting your vote.
So those that are supposedly too lazy to register and too stupid to take a photo are actually spending time reading election laws so that when election comes they can vote without identification?

The linked tweet is implying that this is the only category of WI absentee ballot that doesn't require ID. I still haven't seen any proof of that. It also doesn't explain exactly someone does with an ID when voting absentee (I think in many states, it just means putting your driver's license or other state ID number on the ballot envelope, which only means the person completing the ballot envelope needs to know the ID number for that voter, not be that voter -- theoretically, the workers processing the ballots could check these against the voter registration info to make sure they match, but I expect that happens even less often than meaningful signature-match checks).
Thanks. But seriously, does anybody really check if the scan was of a real license and/or if the scanned license matches the registered voter's information? Seems like it would super-easy for fraudsters to crank out phony license scans since voters' names and addresses are publicly available, and the photo and other information (especially license number) is unlikely to be checked other than very occasional spot checks. And of course, no one would really follow up if a spot-checked license didn't match. And some of the election workers are supportive of the fraud and wouldn't report a mismatch even if they noticed it. A poor quality scan would take care of any quick efforts to match photos to license photos, but I somehow doubt that anyone is even doing that beyong occasional spot checks.
source please because that's exactly the argument they were making "we are in the middle of a pandemic!"
I know they are liars.
I would just like to see the legal definition.

Source: Judge forced the website to take down the instructions telling people to use that status if they were locked down due to Covid.
Source?
Dane and Milwaukee election officials said otherwise leading up to the election. These DEMS invited fraud.

The difference is you normally need ID. to PROVE IT IS YOU AND YOU ARE NOT DEAD. dont be daft.
NO ID needed for indefinitely confined voters OR folks in nursing homes.
I had to submit my ID to the county in order to do this. You can't ask for one.
you didn't check the "indefinitely confined" box.

Holy crap. This is just insane chart. What juror can't understand THAT?
Spread it far and wide.
It makes it obvious that SOMETHING (many things) are NOT normal in these states.

"okay the media lies, but Trump lies more" That was a great one I've heard

SPECIAL NOTE... THOSE PEOPLE DO 'NOT' HAVE TO SHOW AN ID TO GET REGISTERED....
THE DEMS GAINED 100,000 VOTES RIGHT THERE....

They did this so blatantly it's just unbelievable.

I saw an article that the Repubs had managed to get these segregated from the other ballots in the recount. Anyone know if this is still going on?
We are not segregating them. Both sides agreed to trust the numbers reported above as accurate. They will be counted as part of the recount but the Trump team is still expected to file a lawsuit related to them.
All those ballots need ID verification or signature verification

Anyone got a link to show that the ballots were requested as Indefinitely confined" rather than simply "absentee?"
BUT BUT BUT, TEH COVID!!!
Amazing system they have for getting out the vote
So those that are supposedly too lazy to register and too stupid to take a photo are actually spending time reading election laws so that when election comes they can vote without identification?
And how many are indef. confined to coffins?
Valuable details here: https://www.maciverinstitute.com/2020/10/a-quarter-million-wisconsin-voters-claim-to-be-indefinitely-confined/
Words matter. u/airgag helpfully posted the actual language in the statute you are referring to: https://thedonald.win/p/11QRyJY7Zx/x/c/4DpKSoLI2FE

In WI, to obtain an absentee ballot, you are required to provide a scan of your driver's license with the application.
Indefinitely confined voters are exempt from that.
