- Battleground Ballots is an Inside Climate podcast from the staff of Inside Climate News.
- Inside Climate frames this year’s midterm elections as quickly approaching, with control of Congress and state houses across the nation up for grabs.
- Environmental issues could play a role in the election outcome, according to the podcast introduction.
- Environmental issues are also linked to bringing more voters to the polls, making turnout a distinct concern in the coverage.
Why it matters: For congressional and statehouse campaigns, the immediate stake is control of Congress and state houses nationwide; the source links environmental issues to additional voters and election outcomes, making turnout the clearest material connection stated for this year’s contests, without a named policy singled out.
