WI did determine that the "confined" absentee votes will not count and that was 250k votes

They won't throw out the 220,000 as a blanket. It'll be case by case.

"The majority decision in that case, Jefferson v. Dane County, also held that if voters falsely claimed they were indefinitely confined “their ballots would not count.” However, the court said a case-by-case determination must be made before tossing ballots."

So wait... how do you individually review 220k ballots? Isn't the whole point of the secret ballot to make ballots incapable of being traced back to who cast them? So while you might know if a certain voter was falsely claiming indefinite confinement, how could you know which ballot was theirs and throw it out?
