Wisconsin's Attorney General Josh Kaul ordered a raid on Wausau Mayor's home as part of a ballot drop box investigation. The raid, which included the seizure of the mayor's wife's cell phone, has been criticized as an overreaction and an example of the criminal law being weaponized for political purposes. The mayor had removed the drop box because the Common Council had not approved it and he claimed it was not secure.
