Brooklyn's Ballot Problems; Nursing Homes Prepare for More COVID; 30 Issues: Climate and Energy; NYC's Uptick - a podcast by WNYC

Coming up on today's show: 

Brigid Bergin, WNYC's City Hall & politics reporter, explains what happened when thousands of Brooklyn voters received their absentee ballots with the wrong names inside, and what voters should do about it. 
Richard Mollot, executive director of the Long Term Care Community Coalition, discusses the effect of COVID-19 on nursing homes in our region and the steps taken to prepare for a new wave of infection.
Justin Worland, a Washington D.C.-based correspondent for TIME covering energy and the environment, breaks down the Republican and Democrat stance on climate change and energy.
New York City's daily rate of positive tests rose above 3 percent this week, the highest it's been in months, before falling back down to under 1% Wednesday. Elizabeth Kim, senior editor for Gothamist, and Irwin Redlener, professor of pediatrics and director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University and co-founder of the Children's Health Fund, talk about what the fluctuation in numbers mean, and whether city dwellers should expect a second wave and more restrictions as the weather gets colder.
