US director Spike Lee (2R), US civil rights activist Al Sharpton (3R) and members of Martin Luther King Jr.'s family march from the Lincoln Memorial to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial during a "Defend the Vote" rally in Washington, DC, on August 28, 2026, marking the 63rd anniversary of the 1963 "March on Washington" 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 Aaron Schwartz / AFP via Getty Images)
