That was in early April, when Wisconsin was reporting a couple of hundred new cases of COVID-19 a day. Wisconsin is currently reporting about 3,000 new cases a day, making any polling station much more dangerous this coming Tuesday than they were in July.
From a public health perspective, voting by mail-in ballot should be absolutely encouraged. it worked just fine in April. This is quite obviously a political maneuver of voter suppression.

Blah blah, from a constitutional standpoint, the ruling is correct.
Your argument is meant for the Assembly and Senate of Wisconsin. By all means, present that argument to them, since it is they who would be setting the election rules in their state. They are accountable to the voters. Tell them to do the legislative job you want done.
