Several reports noted the coalition's goal of increasing early voting numbers and training poll watchers, with NPR detailing Ezra Levin's comments on these objectives and concerns about election integrity. The left-rated reports also mentioned specific event themes such as 'voting is your superpower' and 'Paws to the Polls,' as well as the nonpartisan nature of the events. ### Centre - Centre-rated reports focused on the 'No Kings' network holding rallies across the U.S. to urge voters to cast ballots early ahead of the midterms. These reports frequently mentioned the aim of getting people out to vote early and the nonpartisan billing of the events, while also noting that they sought to build on previous marches and demonstrations by people upset with Trump's presidency. Several centre-rated reports also mentioned calls for election integrity. ### Right - Right-rated reports from Le Journal de Montreal and La Nacion stated that the main anti-Trump protest movement was holding thousands of events across the country on Saturday, with La Nacion adding that the demonstrations occurred amid federal election scrutiny. The Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer digest noted that rallies calling for election integrity and urging voters to cast ballots early were being held across the U.S. as part of the No Kings network. **Provisional coverage gap:** right.
