The mayor of a central Wisconsin city recently made headlines for his controversial removal of an absentee ballot drop box outside City Hall. Wausau Mayor Doug Diny, who ran on a platform opposing drop boxes, defended his actions, stating that he was simply acting as a member of staff and there was nothing untoward about his actions.
Diny's removal of the drop box has sparked debate in the community, with some residents expressing anger and concern over potential voter interference. The use of drop boxes has been a contentious issue in Wisconsin, with some Republican-run municipalities opting against their use for the upcoming election.
