Trying to keep politics our of it, do you think the decision to overturn an earlier ruling to extend mail in deadline by 13 days, and force those wishing to exercise their voting privilege which meant standing in line between 1.5 and 2.5 hours was a good ruling during a deadly pandemic?

All I know is this ... with the usual rules and timelines NOT in place as well as the experienced older poll workers in hiding - this election year is the most ripe for vote fraud in the history of the country.
Every state could have a "hanging chad" issue. If you wanted to destroy confidence in the election process you couldn't design a better boogieman issue.

Actually, the question is: was it proper for a judge to allow people to vote AFTER the election was over, then force an election official who was not a party to the dispute, to remain silent until all of the votes made AFTER the election were counted? That answer is clearly no.
Also, there was probably enough notice for anyone who wanted an absentee ballot to request one.
And this "deadly pandemic" is deadly to elderly people with preexisting health problems, the same people who are most susceptible to the flu.

Shame on you. I've got nothing else.

Follow the rules, Wear a mask, bring wipes to wipe down the voting machine, Social distance, go in, vote and go home. It’s that simple

That's not good enough. Should have had the option to do an absentee ballot like a number of states as the pandemic makes it needed

They have the option to use absentee ballots:

Who can Request an Absentee Ballot?
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 10 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.
Request an Absentee Ballot by Mail
If you are a registered Wisconsin voter, you can download the Application For Absentee Ballot (EL-121). Just complete the form and mail it to your municipal clerk's office. You can find your clerk at MyVote WI: myvote.wi.gov by searching for your voter record or performing an address search. You can also find your clerk by searching through the list of all Wisconsin municipal clerks. Your application must be received by the clerk no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Thursday before the election in order for an absentee ballot to be SENT to you. You will also need to provide a copy of your acceptable photo ID with your request. If you have not previously provided a copy of photo ID, photo ID must accompany your first application by mail. More information about photo ID can be found at www.bringit.wi.gov.
If you are not already registered, you will need to register to vote before an absentee ballot can be sent to you.

More than enough time.

Holy fucking crap. You guys have been fed a load of crap from the MSM. First of all, absentee voting was open 2 weeks prior to election day in Dane county (Madison - Dem county) and 1 week prior to the rest of the state in Milwaukee county (also Dem). Both counties ran early voting (absentee) above and beyond the rest of the state including Saturdays and Sundays. There was ZERO excuse for not early voting if desired. Only 18,000 give or take voted on April 7 in Milwaukee. Over 1.5 million were sent out absentee statewide with 1.2 million returned as of the 7th. State law requires 8pm April 7 as final voting although several thousand were videotaped getting in line and voting after 9pm.
