"No Kings" rallies across US urge early voting as legal fights over voting rules grow
"No Kings" protesters rallied across the US on Saturday against President Trump and urged people to vote early in the November 3 midterms.
Protesters rallied across the US on Saturday in "No Kings" demonstrations against the Trump administration. Organizers used the events to urge people to vote early in the November 3 midterm elections, according to The Guardian, Deutsche Welle and The New York Times.
The Guardian reports the rallies coincide with legal fights over voting rules. It cites a recent federal lawsuit against California over mail-in ballots and warnings from the justice department about ballot processing. The reports give no further detail on either.
Al Jazeera reports thousands took part. France 24 says one rally, in Atlanta, was themed "No Kings, Vote Now." Many demonstrators there denounced Trump's policies. Organizers said the aim was to get out the vote and protect democracy.
The Guardian says current polls suggest Democrats will win the House of Representatives, while the Senate is too close to call. Deutsche Welle reports Republicans face tough races to keep control of Congress.
