Consistent with the fully briefed motions, evidence presented, and the hearing held on August 5, 2020, therefore, the court will grant in part and deny in part the
parties motions for reasons more fully explained below, including entering a preliminary injunction providing the following relief:
extending the deadline under Wisconsin Statute § 6.28(1), for online and mail- in registration from October 14, to October 21, 2020;
directing the WEC to include on the MyVote and WisVote websites (and on any additional materials that may be printed explaining the indefinitely confined option) the language provided in their March 2020 guidance, which explains that the indefinitely confined exception does not require permanent or total inability to travel outside of the residence;
extending the receipt deadline for absentee ballots under Wisconsin Statute § 6.87(6) until November 9, 2020, but requiring that the ballots be mailed and postmarked on or before election day, November 3, 2020;
enjoining Wisconsin Statute § 6.87(3)(a), which limits delivery of absentee ballots to mail only for domestic civilian voters, allowing online access to replacement absentee ballots or emailing replacement ballots for the period from October 22 to October 29, 2020, as to those voters who timely requested an absentee ballot, the request was approved, and the ballot was mailed, but the voter did not receive the ballot; and
enjoining Wisconsin Statute § 7.30(2), which requires that each election official be an elector of the county in which the municipality is located, allowing election officials to be residents of other counties within Wisconsin for the upcoming November 2020 election.

OP
Looks like 69 pages of a gobbledygook PDF. How about a couple of sentences with a description

If Lincoln and Grant came back today and observed what is happening, they likely wouldnt rest until they had registered as a Democrat.

This has been thoroughly beat to death here. It would require so many pieces to fall in place, not only unlikely its next to impossible
Or post a link to where it says legislators can stop electors from being seated
