Leaders like Reverend Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King III declared it a “very dangerous moment,” while Senator Bernie Sanders called it a direct assault on democracy.

Legal battles rage on, including a federal injunction against a mail-in ballot restriction, as midterm elections loom and the fight to safeguard every vote intensifies.
