People gather near the Lincoln Memorial for a “Defend the Vote” rally in Washington, DC, on August 28, 2026, coinciding with the 63rd anniversary of the 1963 “March on Washington” rally for civil rights. A US federal judge blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order on August 27 curbing the use of mail-in ballots, the latest twist in a legal dispute months before November’s midterm elections. Trump signed an order in March seeking to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the midterms, but it was immediately met with multiple legal challenges. (Photo by Ken Cedeno / AFP via Getty Images)
