If the votes were already manufactured but held back until and unless needed, we’re not talking aboout that many ballots salted throughout rat strongholds. Don’t forget about same-day provisional ballotting. I think that’s their ace in the hole.
Between the provisionals and “found” ballots, they only need about 25k votes in areas that went about 65% for Klopp to get there. 25k ballots is less than 2% of the total vote right now.
It’s doable with experienced attorneys and willing judges.

You would need very willing judges to “find” ballots after the canvass. Up until the canvass it is pretty easy to “find” ballots. But having a ballot box show up after the canvass is to admit to malfeasance, because you are legally required to report all valid ballots at the canvass. (By valid I also mean challenged and provisional ballots.)
So to add “found” ballots after the canvass you need a local judge who is willing to ignore state law, an appeals court that is willing to do so — and have the Wisconsin Supreme Court ignore the law. And in this case a tie at the Supreme Court level upholds existing law, which states ignore the “found” ballots.
That means the clever lawyers are pretty much limited to playing with the provisional ballots. But the Democrats thought they had enough to yield enough to push the K-lady over the top with the normal range of error on a canvass (about a 1000 vote swing is maximum — and I think it swung about 400 prior to this report), so that means they have maybe 2000-3000 max stored. I'll bet they used part of that margin on Election Day to gain that 200 point lead, too.
I am not saying they cannot do it, just that this is several orders of magnitude greater than the usual difficulty involved in stealing an election.
