We talk with a reporter and political scientist about a pair of elections stories, including voting at nursing homes in Racine and a strategic move by a Republican candidate for governor in Wisconsin. Then we learn about a project to share art in a community from the artist who started it. And a UW-Madison limnologist explains the surprising results of a study she led looking at the severity of algal blooms.
