Primary recap and one peculiar story from longtime La Crosse city clerk Nikki Elsen

We chatted with La Crosse city clerk Nikki Elsen after she was done with primary voting duties for the night Tuesday.

We recapped how everything went, the voter turnout and compared this La Crosse mayor election to some recent past races.

Elsen has been the city clerk the past five years and was deputy clerk 21 years before that.

So, we asked her about any interesting election night stories, and she did have a pretty good one about voting machines being switched in 2020. Which prompted just a few jokes.
