Election season may be in a lull, but it’s not over. In fact, a few political showdowns are still heating up. Here’s what you need to know as the Nov. 8 general election draws closer.

That’s because a surprising surge of election day voting by mail has left the Santa Cruz County Clerk’s office playing catch-up.
