Wisconsin Mayor Takes Matters Into His Own Hands: Says He Did Nothing Wrong After Using Dolly to Remove Ballot Drop Box Outside City Hall

Wausau Mayor Doug Diny made a bold move on Sunday, taking matters into his own hands and physically removing an absentee ballot drop box from outside City Hall.
Diny donned work gloves and a hard hat as he carted away the unsecured drop box on a dolly, ensuring its safety until the city council could make an official decision, AP reported.
While liberal critics screamed “voter suppression,” Diny stood firm, insisting that his actions were intended to protect the voting process from potential abuse.
“This is no different than the maintenance guy moving it out there,” Diny said, dismissing the overblown accusations of voter interference.
“I’m a member of staff. There’s nothing nefarious going on here. I’m hoping for a good result.”
“My position is that this city does not need one,” he said.
The move byWausau Mayor Doug Diny came as officials around the battleground state wrestle with whether to use drop boxes after the state Supreme Court this summer gave them that ability. Officials in Milwaukee, Madison and other Democratic strongholds have embraced them, while their counterparts in some of Milwaukee’s suburbs and other Republican areas have banned them.
Nowhere has the dispute been more prominent than Wausau, a city of 40,000 people in the heart of the state. The mayor, who was elected in the spring with the help of the Republican Party, said he moved the drop box to his office Sunday because he believed the city council should decide whether the city should use it.

The Wausau Pilot & Review earlier reported on the removal of the drop box. Diny gave the publication a photo of him wheeling it away and said he did not believe he had done anything illegal.
Clerks in Wisconsin have sent more than 410,000 absentee ballots since mail voting began last week, and voters can return them by mail, at clerk’s offices or to drop boxes.
The Wausaudrop box was placed outside of city hall late last week, and the clerk planned to have it secured to the ground so that it could be used starting Monday, according to city officials. It was locked, and voters could not place ballots inside while it was awaiting installation, City Clerk Kaitlyn Bernarde said.
Bernarde said she discovered the drop box was missing Monday and reported the matter to Marathon County District Attorney Theresa Wetzsteon (D), who said Wednesday that she has launched an investigation. The drop box will not be used for now, but voters can return ballots in a separate box normally used for payments to the city government, Bernarde said.
Does Stacey Plaskett Realize what she just said? 🤯👀 WOW she’s full of hate! Another case of TDS😁
She just admitted that DOJ and FBI are weaponized to go after those with opposing views.
The DOJ and FBI “serve as a check against white nationalism, great replacement theorists, Christian nationalists, white fragility, fascists, and the twice impeached convicted felon, former president and would-be dictator Donald Trump.”
The matrix is cracking and the real programming code can be seen by all…

ELECTION INTERFERENCE: Leftist London Mayor Sadiq Khan Urges Americans Not to Reelect Donald Trump
September 25, 2024
London’s Labour Party Mayor Sadiq Khan is urging Americans not to reelect Donald Trump in what is a clear example of foreign election interference.
Democrats in the United States spent years pushing the idea that foreign election interference from Russia and other international actors got Trump elected in 2016. Where are they now?
Of course, anyone who has looked at what has become of London on Khan’s watch might consider this as a campaign contribution to Trump.
London mayor urges Americans against re-electing Trump
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has warned Americans against re-electing former President Trump.
“What I’d say in a respectful way to Americans is: I don’t think you realize that the rest of the world is watching because we’ve got skin in the game,” Khan reportedly said in an interview with Politico.
“What happens in America is the metronome… that sets the beat of what happens across the globe,” Khan, who is in his third term as mayor of London, told the outlet while in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly. “It sets the beat for how other politicians behave in an election campaign.”
Khan, a left-leaning Labour Party member, claimed that Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris climate accords, efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and rhetoric about women and immigrants are dangerous, according to Politico. He encouraged Americans to consider Trump’s first term…
Khan, who has been engaged in public feuds with Trump in the past and has outwardly called the Republican presidential nominee a racist, a sexist and a homophobe, categorized the upcoming American election as one of significant importance.
Is Khan aware that Americans have a tradition of ignoring demands from the UK?
