Judge rejects MI elections guidance, says absentee ballots with mismatched numbers can't be counted

1. have to kind of agree

with what I see in the ruling here. If ballots are in error (for whatever reason) - there should be opportunity for either correction or adjudication. But 'fairness' doesn't not encompass the counting of errant ballots or voting.

Having said that - how much variance (in final result) is there between the SoS guidance and judges ruling?

i.e., is the SoS saying that ballots without the proper stubs should accounted valid - regardless of error? Or only as preliminary to rectifications and/or adjudication?
