Early voting, toss-up House races, and an Iowa angle on Indigenous Peoples' Day

Other topics covered: a debate, a poll, and new TV ads in Iowa's two toss-up Congressional races; attorney ratings for judges up for retention on the November ballot; a challenge to federal nursing home staffing requirements; Iowa Supreme Court arguments in a CO2 pipeline case; how school vouchers are affecting public and private schools; and for Indigenous People's Day, a brief summary of the 1842 Sauk and Fox Treaty.
