Doug Diny, the Republican mayor of Wausau, took action against a ballot drop box installed by the city clerk, citing security concerns and a lack of City Council consultation.
The Wausau pilot reported that Diny's removal of the box is part of a larger trend since the 2020 election, where Republican officials have scrutinized election processes.
Diny expressed a philosophical difference with the city clerk, arguing that the City Council should have decided on the drop box installation, rather than the clerk.
Kaitlyn Bernarde, the city clerk, clarified that the drop box was still being set up, and while locked, it posed no immediate security risk.
