Wisconsin Mayor's Removal of Ballot Drop Box Sparks Investigation

Wausau Mayor Doug Diny's actions have ignited controversy and prompted a criminal probe amid ongoing debates over absentee ballot drop boxes.

Wausau Mayor Doug Diny removed the city's only absentee ballot drop box, citing security concerns.
The decision has led to a criminal investigation by Marathon County District Attorney Theresa Wetzsteon.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court's recent ruling allows local communities to decide on the use of drop boxes, leading to varied implementations across the state.
Critics, including voting rights groups, accuse Diny of voter suppression and demand state intervention.
Diny, backed by the Republican Party, argues that the drop box was not secure and insists he did nothing wrong.
