But Gossick wouldn’t consider — or even discuss — her health until the November election was done, she told her husband. She collapsed the morning of Election Day at her home. She died that afternoon at a local hospital. “She worked every day up until the election to make sure they would run meticulously, and then her body gave out,” Wisconsin Rapids Mayor Matt Zacher said, calling it a “dedication to the integrity of elections
