I believe it was to bring attention to the matter. Gotta use gloves so as not to "tamper" with the box, and wear a hat to conform to OSHA standards. π
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 βvoter suppression,β Diny stood firm, insisting that his actions were intended to protect the voting process from potential abuse.
βThis is no different than the maintenance guy moving it out there,β Diny said, dismissing the overblown accusations of voter interference.
βIβm a member of staff. Thereβs nothing nefarious going on here. Iβm hoping for a good result.β
βMy position is that this city does not need one,β he said.
