The following program is part of our “Here & Now” 2022 election coverage.

Frederica Freyberg:

The newly released nation’s report card renews Wisconsin’s reputation in racial disparities. Early voting began this week as Election Day rapidly draws near. Turnout based on the issue of abortion could determine the next governor. And legislation vetoed under Evers that would likely pass under a Michels administration.

I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” Zac Schultz looks at the impact of abortion law on the midterms. Plus, what possible election outcomes will mean for state GOP legislation. And the state’s Department of Public Instruction responds to a bleak report card for Black students. It’s “Here & Now” for October 28.
