Summary
No Kings rallies calling for election integrity and urging voters to cast ballots early in the upcoming midterms were being held in dozens of cities, towns and communities across the United States, The Philadelphia Inquirer and PBS NewsHour reported on Saturday 17 October. PBS NewsHour said the hundreds of planned events were billed as nonpartisan, though they sought to build on nearly two years' worth of No Kings marches and demonstrations by people upset with Trump's presidency, and the LA Times reported that participants in Saturday's widespread protests, in Southern California and across the nation, rallied behind voter participation. The rallies pushed early voting at county elections offices and also encouraged people to sign up to serve as poll watchers on Election Day, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
