GOP Circle Their Wagons Around Ballot Drop Box Stealing Mayor

On Monday, J.D. Vance, was in Wisconsin campaigning and not answering questions about racist jokes. One of his stops was in Wausau, home of the mayor who steals ballot drop boxes.

The Wisconsin DOJ executed a search warrant of Diny's city hall office and of his home as part of their investigation into his committing election interference. But Diny, being a true MAGA Republican, refused to take any responsibility for his criminal behaviors and blamed it all on Katie Rosenburg, his predecessor:

In the warrant, a Department of Justice special agent wrote evidence suggested “that the Drop Box discussion” began before Doug Diny was sworn in as mayor on April 16. Because of that, the agent sought permission to search for evidence stretching back to April 1, the day before Diny beat incumbent Mayor Katie Rosenberg.

Diny told WisPolitics in a phone interview Wednesday he believes the case is “99.9% political” after he beat Rosenberg, who he described as “tight” with Dem AG Josh Kaul and Gov. Tony Evers. He also questioned why DOJ was seeking information from April, when a 2022 Supreme Court ruling was still in effect that barred their use.
