Voter receiving ballot through mail.

What should we make of a drop in absentee mail-in voting ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections? Can it tell us anything about voter enthusiasm, or is it a natural development as we get further from the pandemic?

This week's Capitol Notes also digs into key endorsements, what to look for in upcoming debates, and how swingy congressional races in Wisconsin play into the national picture.
