政治 · Midterm voter outreachNo Kings Pivots to Early Voting, Claiming More Than 3,000 Events文字 2026年10月18日 下午6:00 [UTC]觀看逐字稿0:07No Kings volunteers are turning anti-Trump protests into voter registration and0:11early voting drives.0:13Organizers say more than 3,000 events took place across all 50 states just 17 days0:18before the midterms.0:19The test is whether that organizing network can turn rally participation into votes0:24and lawful election protection work.0:26Volunteers offered registration help in Washington Square Park, prepared voting0:30information in Frisco, and urged early voting in Dallas.0:34A few hundred people gathered at a West Palm Beach rally.0:37The fourth No Kings Day of Action took place October 17th, 2026.0:42Its coalition includes Indivisible, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Black0:46Voters Matter.0:47The network built its profile opposing President Donald Trump.0:51Organizers describe this round of voter assistance as nonpartisan, with no0:55endorsements or current candidates speaking at events.0:58Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin described the earlier demonstrations as a way to1:02send a message.1:03This action aimed to get people voting.1:05The event rules shaped the outreach.1:07while the coalition retained its history of opposition to Trump.1:10Organizers initially planned more than 3,000 events.1:14A separate count described more than 2,500 launched.1:17By evening, organizers said more than 3,000 had taken place.1:21Those lower bound figures use different descriptions, leaving the precise nationwide1:25total unsettled.1:26The launched count included all 50 states in Washington, D.C.1:29Advance estimates also varied between about nearly and more than 3,000.1:33Those differences don't tell us how many events were canceled.1:36And an event count gives no headcount for the people who came.1:39Organizers estimated 4 to 6 million participants in June 2025 and 5 to 7 million1:44that October.1:45For the preceding March action, they estimated 8 to 9 million people at more than1:493,300 locations.1:51Those earlier estimates help explain the ambition.1:53Organizers called for the biggest election protection and early vote activation in1:57history.1:58Levin also wanted the largest early voting midterm in American history without2:02setting a numerical target.2:03The October action hasn't produced a final national attendance tally.2:07At VoteFest NYC in Washington Square Park, Volunteers helped people register or make2:11an early voting plan.2:13The practical work included checking registration, explaining voting rights, and2:17helping someone decide when and how to cast a ballot.2:19In Frisco, local Indivisible co-leader Cammie Dunford and neighbors prepared 5002:24mini goodie bags with QR codes linking to voting information.2:28Dunford said two people in her group had already trained as poll monitors.2:32Common Cause was among the organizations providing monitor training.2:35Levin made recruiting and training poll watchers a second goal alongside early2:39voting.2:39Affiliated events also offered voter rights education and discussed ballot curing,2:44the process for correcting certain problems with male voting paperwork.2:47Texas requires watchers to have an appointment through a candidate, party, or ballot2:52measure side and present a certificate to the presiding judge.2:55Watchers observe and flag concerns.2:58Election officials administer voting and make ballot decisions.3:01Training with a civic group alone doesn't grant access inside a polling place.3:05Texas has separate formally appointed jobs for presiding judges, clerks, early3:10voting officials and ballot board members.3:12A non-partisan volunteer still has to meet the state's appointment rules to serve as3:15a watcher.3:16The Texas restrictions published as current in January barred on-duty watchers from3:21conversing with voters or communicating with them about the election.3:25They limited conversations with election officers to calling attention to an3:28irregularity or violation of law.3:31State rules govern who can observe where and when.3:34The January restrictions describe that published Texas framework.3:37Procedures for November depend on the rules then in force.3:40Volunteers seeking an observer role need the applicable state requirements before3:44entering a polling place.3:45Ballot curing gives an affected voter a chance to correct a defect in a mail ballot3:50application or carrier envelope.3:52An application might have a missing or mismatched identification number.3:57Official ballot boards decide whether to accept the ballot.3:59Voting was already underway in some states when the rallies took place.4:03The national figures describe a voting period already in motion, with millions4:08participating before the outreach could have had any measurable effect.4:11The earlier national snapshot put votes cast at roughly 5.1 million on October 14th.4:16By October 17th, the totals reportedly exceeded 8.5 million votes cast and 57.84:22million mail ballots requested.4:23A mail ballot request still has to become a returned and accepted ballot.4:27The later voting total can grow beyond an earlier snapshot without contradicting it.4:31These national numbers don't measure how many votes No Kings generated.4:35Georgia reportedly saw more than 188,000 votes on its opening Tuesday, but that4:40number hasn't been confirmed for 2026.4:43By October 17th, the cumulative in-person total since Tuesday was put at nearly4:47800,000.4:48The opening day figure also lacks an exact date.4:51The cumulative total covers several days, so the two numbers answer different4:55questions.4:56Neither number shows an effect from the October 17 action.4:59Dallas participants urged Texans to vote, especially during early voting.5:04Conversations around Texas included people planning to vote Democratic down the5:08ticket, secondhand talk of Republicans considering crossover votes, and Republicans5:13sticking with their party.5:14Those encounters describe individual intentions with no representative survey behind5:18them.5:19Trump was also urging his supporters to vote at a Kentucky rally.5:22He predicted a landslide if they turned out.5:25Both appeals sought participation.5:27Neither provides a count of votes won.5:29One rally speaker claimed the Voting Rights Act had been overturned.5:33In 2013, the Supreme Court struck down Section 4B's coverage formula that disabled5:39pre-clearance based on that formula.5:41Other protections, including Section 2's ban on discriminatory voting practices,5:45remained.5:46The same speaker accused the administration of gerrymandering and threatening5:50immigration enforcement at polling places.5:52The gerrymandering allegation came without a specific map or legal finding.5:56Immigration enforcement fears had already prompted litigation, including a September6:01lawsuit by Denver and other plaintiffs seeking to block armed immigration officers6:05at voting sites.6:06On October's ticket, the administration said it had no plans for ICE officers at6:10polls.6:10Four days later, Common Cause said the administration claimed authority to conduct6:14immigration enforcement inside polling places and challenged that position in court.6:18The Brennan Center had described repeated refusals to rule out federal agents at6:22voting locations by July 28th.6:24A civil rights coalition also sued in September over deployment threats.6:28At the time of the September 10 Denver lawsuit, no official deployment orders had6:32been identified.6:33Denying a deployment plan and claiming possible enforcement authority addressed6:36different questions.6:37An order assigning ICE officers to polling places hasn't been confirmed, and the6:41exact scope of the claimed authority remains unclear.6:44The Know King's Instagram account also suffered a reported four-hour interruption.6:49Meta hadn't explained it.6:50There's no measured effect on turnout or evidence showing that the interruption was6:54intended to suppress the events.6:56The coalition has put voting information and volunteer recruitment into its6:59organizing work.7:01It hasn't yet shown how many additional people voted because of the effort or how7:04many trainees secured lawful observer appointments.7:07The 500 Frisco bags and two trained monitors show preparation.7:10The electoral results still need to be measured.7:13Texas opens in person early voting Monday, October 19th, giving the weekend outreach7:17an immediate test.7:19That voting period closes Friday, October 30th.7:21Election Day is November 3.閱讀文章事件時間軸HeyDex短片
