We did the weave between Halloween and politics Friday with UW-La Crosse political science professor, Dr. Anthony Chergosky, in the WIZM studio for La Crosse Talk PM with our traditional trick-or-treat preview.

La Crosse Talk PM airs weekdays at 5:06 p.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk PM wherever you get your podcasts.


Among some of the topics was, of course, best and worst candy, but also some good poll questions surrounding the holiday:

  • What age is too old to trick-or-treat — and do you have to tell your kids to stop? 
  • Have you ever dressed as a political figure for Halloween?
  • How often do you have nightmares after watching a horror film?
  • At what age should you stop dressing up for Halloween?

In the political world, we discussed the onslaught of nationally known Democrats that have descended to La Crosse and Wisconsin but, aside from Donald Trump, where are the Republicans — and who are the Republicans? We also talked quick about Elon Musk’s $1 million giveaway.

And the last topic came from a caller: What happens if you vote early, but your candidate dies? It’s actually happened.
