So basically, the Court ruled that the 200,000 plus "indefinitely confined" absentee ballots were improperly granted. But these 200,000 votes can't be all thrown out at once. There must be determination made on each individual ballot.
The margin of victory in Wisconsin was 20,000. We can assume that these 200,000 "indefinitely confined" ballots overwhelmingly went for China Joe.... But how do we prove this? It is an anonymous ballot.
China Joe will argue that those 200,000 absentee votes could have been all for Trump.
How to sort this out?

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled in favor of Mark Jefferson and the Republican Party of Wisconsin.
But the court noted that a determination must be made in every case before tossing a ballot.
Under Wisconsin law, a voter may receive a ballot by mail and bypass Wisconsin’s voter ID law, if the voter, by his own determination, concludes he “confined” based on age, physical illness, or infirmity. This fall, roughly 215,000 voters in Wisconsin said they were indefinitely confined, nearly a four-fold increase from the 2016 election.
The court said the government’s interpretation of Wisconsin’s indefinitely confined was erroneous. “A county clerk may not “declare” that any elector is indefinitely confined due to a pandemic,” the court said. The court further stated that, “…the presence of a communicable disease such as COVID-19, in and of itself, does not entitle all electors [voters] in Wisconsin to obtain an absentee ballot…”
Moreover, the court stated that lockdown orders do not meet the requirements under Wisconsin law to allow a voter to claim the status of “indefinitely confined” either.
There are 240,000 indefinitely confined cases in Wisconsin this year. Most are illegitimate and these were unquestionably votes for Joe Biden.
A judge has agreed that these votes are illegitimate. Republicans should eliminate every one until the Democrats can prove any of them are legitimate.
Will the Republican leadership stand up and disqualify these votes and assign all their electoral votes to President Trump and will these be included in VP Pence’s decision next week when recognizing who won the 2020 election?
Just read this on the news.
Where was it?
The issue i have with the indefinitely confined WI voters is you can prove who was not indefinitely confined but bar making that person say who they voted for how do they remove those votes from the election totals? Are their names linked to each indefinitely confined ballot? If not then all of those ballots have to be tossed.
No, there is no link between the outer absentee ballot envelope and the inner secrecy envelope containing the ballot. The poll worker is supposed to verify the signature on the outer envelope. If everything is fine, the inner secrecy envelope is submitted and fed to the machine.
Bottom line: there is no way to determine for whom any individual absentee ballot was cast for.
Common sense tells us that Biden won the vast majority, 70% (or whatever it is), of mail in ballots. These 200,000 "indefinitely confined" mail ballots easily wipes out Biden's 20,000 vote lead.
But Courts probably can not operate like that. Cannot make the assumption that Biden won most of these mail in votes.
The only remedy I see is to toss out all 200,000 ballots...
Not clear what the Court means by "individual determination of every ballot".
Maybe some of these 200,000 were legitimately "indefinitely confined" voters. Hence the Court does not want to disenfranchise these voters.
But again, the number of "indefinitely confined" jumped about 5X from 2016 to 2020. So about 40,000 out of these 200,000 votes might be legit.
They have been working on this for weeks. Doesn’t look they have made much progress.
