It’s fraud.
No, actually it's confusion among various people over executive branch orders and guidance and interpreting legislative branch language and intent, which is why there is a third branch, the judicial, to examine the issues and render final declarations and judgements. Fraud requires a criminal intent to deliberately deceive, which is why you will also
not find the word "fraud"
anywhere in the Court opinion. The word confusion does, however appear in their opinion:
Responding to the confusion that these two statements caused, the Wisconsin Elections Commission ("WEC") issued proposed guidance on when voters may declare themselves indefinitely confined. The WEC's proposed guidance, issued on March 27, 2020, reads as follows: Designation of indefinitely confined status is for each individual voter to make based upon their current circumstance. It does not require permanent or total inability to travel outside of the residence. The designation is appropriate for electors who are indefinitely confined because of age, physical illness or infirmity or are disabled for an indefinite period.Please note that the Court found that
age is a legally qualifying claim for an indefinite confinement application for absentee voting as is explicitly stated in the statutory language. The Court also found that
each individual elector makes "his or her own determination as to whether the elector is indefinitely confined". As the Court stated in its conclusion:
CONCLUSION
We conclude Wis. Stat. § 6.86(2)(a) requires that (1) each individual elector make his or her own determination as to whether the elector is indefinitely confined; (2) an elector's determination may be based only upon age, physical illness or infirmity; and (3) an elector is indefinitely confined for his or her own age, physical illness or infirmity, not those of another person.Now, of the 3,297,352 votes cast in Wisconsin for the November 3rd presidential election, 2.6 million were by absentee ballot. Of those, about 220,000 were indefinitely confined absentee ballots. The percentage of Wisconsin's population over age 60 is approximately 21%—over 1.2 million residents. It would be reasonable to expect that a large number of seniors would determine—as is their right as confirmed by both statute and the Court—that they are indefinitely confined in 2020 and legally requested an indefinitely confined absentee ballot due to their age. Wisconsin already had over 71,000 indefinitely confined absentee voters in 2019, due to age, physical illness, infirmity or disability—so the number increased by about 149,000 during a pandemic to which seniors are especially vulnerable and have been advised by medical professionals to take every precaution to limit possible exposure. Wisconsin mailed absentee ballot request forms to voters at the beginning of September and voters clearly preferred voting that way—especially seniors.
If you have any evidence that any voters in Wisconsin requested an indefinitely confined absentee ballot fraudulently, let the Trump lawyers know as they did not allege that even one voter actually did so. The Wisconsin Supreme Court performed a normal court function in settling a dispute over statutory language and intent. They did not make any assertions or assumptions regarding fraud, though you are free to continue to do so despite a lack of any evidence.
