For millions of americans these are desperate times. Infections are spreading and deaths adding up. And for those looking for a new relief check from washington, it could be awhile. Paula reid has the latest. Reporter President Trump<\/a> did not wear a mask today as he greeted supporters at an intersection near his Bedminster New Jersey Golf Club<\/a> though he did maintain his distance. His top advisors were back on capitol hill today working on what to do about federal jobless benefits Congress Approved<\/a> in april. 600 per person per week which are about to expire. White house chief of staff mark meadows said tomorrow the republicans will unveil a proposal to extend that benefit at a reduced amount. We are going to be prepared on monday to provide Unemployment Insurance<\/a> extension that would be 70 of whatever the wages you were prior to being unemployed. Reporter House Democrats<\/a> passed a bill two months ago to extend the 600 payment through january. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi<\/a> told face the nation sunday the republicans new formula is too complicated. Figuring out 70 of somebodys wages people dont all make a salary. Maybe they do, they make wages. And sometimes they have it varied. So why dont we just keep it simple. Reporter but the Administration Says<\/a> the full benefit discourages people from returning to work. The original unemployment benefit actually paid people to stay home and actually a lot of people got more money staying at home than they would going back to work.

Jamie . Yuccas paula reid, thank you. Today marks 100 days until election day 2020. And the race for the white house much like Everything Else<\/a> has been upended by the pandemic. New cbs news Battleground Tracker<\/a> polls out today show former Vice President<\/a> joe biden leading President Trump<\/a> by six points in michigan while the president has a point edge over biden in nearby ohio. Cbs news Political Correspondent<\/a> ed okeefe joins us now, thanks for being here, what patterns are you taking away from these numbers . Jamie, they once again tell us that voters remain very concerned about the pandemic, especially parents who concerned about kids going back to school. They say the president doesnt care about their children. And the poll finds that most americans support the aims of ongoing protests and the black lives matter movement. But let there be no doubt, right now this is joe bidens contest to lose. And yet these polls out of michigan and ohio especially reinforce that his lead is tenuous. More people are voting this year against President Trump<\/a>, not necessarily for biden. And several polls out today from various organizations show that the president s supporters are ppn bides s interesting info e. Well, ed, a hundred days to go but just a hundred days ago the president was doing much better and Bernie Sanders<\/a> was just exiting the race. It seems much longer than that. What are the turning points moving forward . Sure, the big one is bidens running mate. He is set to pick a woman. He says he is doing exhaustive reviews of the backgrounds of several picks and we anticipate an announcement in early august. Both parties are scaling down their conventions as well. The president abruptly cancelled the republican meeting in jacksonville, after moving his acceptance speech in search of loser coronavirus restrictions. And biden still expects to accept the nomination in milwaukee. We expect the president and biden will debate each other three times this fall. Any of those events could dramatically change the contest. Yuccas could, and absentee ballots in some states go out in just under 50 days. Ed okeefe, thank you. The body of congressman and civil rights icon john lewis crossed the Edmund Pettus<\/a> bridge for the last time. Reporter the bridge Edmund Pettus<\/a> is quite unremarkable. Four lanes, 1300 feet. But its historic symbolism is powerful. And powerful it was today, as arhat mbolism, John Robert Lewis<\/a> made his final crossing. On a horsedrawn casson lewis was carried across the Alabama River<\/a> on his way to montgomery. The marchs intended destination on that bloody sunday in 1965. Brown chapel a. M. E. Church served as the rallying point that day and its where his friend and congresswoman teri sewell led todays final Prayer Service<\/a> in selma. John was determined to fight for equality and justice. People of all stripes lined the street to say farewell and holler. Good trouble Cheyenne Webb<\/a> has a tortured history with the bridge, as an 8 year old she was the youngest marcher that day. Reporter what does it mean for you to be here today. Its going to be a sad moment but he has laid the foundation. One of the things that we must do is stand up, get up, and continue to fight.

With the november election 99 days away there are concerns about mailin ballots. Some voters didnt sign in the right places. Other ballots had suggests its that didnt match the one on file and many ballots arrived too late to be counted. Take a look at this. In green you can see states that require ballots to be postmarked by elects day. The yellow states require that they be received by election day. Key disstichblgts for details everybody should check with their state election office. One thing that is very clear. You need to give it more time than your state might recommend to get your ballot through the mail system. This is crucial. In 2015 more that 73,000 ballots arrived too late to be counted. They were not counted. So we set up an experiment to see how long you should give yourself to make surely how long your vote actually counts. Voting rights advocates said its as simple as determining how much time it takes first class mail from point a to point b. Have a good afternoon. Reporter we decided to test it, sending a hundred mock ballots simulating a hundred voters from locations all across philadelphia to a p. O. Box we set up to represent a local election office. In the following week we checked our p. O. Box for the result. Mail pickup notice, there is more. When we went to collect everything, though. I dont see anything for you. Reporter nothing . No. Reporter most of our votes seemed to be lost. Thats all i have back there right now. Reporter you are sure. Totally sure. I believe you. Reporter we had to ask for a manager. Were trying to do something about mailin ballots. And explain ourselves before someone finally found our votes. We had them somewhere else. Reporter thank you. Can we discovered another problem. Unsorted email, we got two pieces of mail. When it ended, we found a bigger issue. 21 of our votes hasnt materialized after four days. So of our 100 ballots, 97 arrived which sounds pretty good unless you consider the fact that that means 3 people who tried to vote by mail in our mock election were, in fact, disenfranchised by mail. In a close election 3 could be pivotal, especially in what is expected to be a record year for mailin voting. Were going to see somewhere between probably 80 and a hundred million voters receiving their ballot that way. This is a official who says some dont take into account the portfolio system. Request it up till noon for tuesdayson that is the worst possible thing. You are setting up the voters with false expectations and youre setting them up to fail. The Portfolio Service<\/a> says voters should mail their return ballots at least one week prior to the due date. All but half of states allow them to collect votes. You can forgive the public for being a tad confused. How long do you think the payoffs recommends . About two or three days. Theyre saying at least a week. A week . At least a week for your vote. Others are hesitant to rely on the mail. Do you trust the Portfolio Service<\/a> with your vote . I never have honestly. I dont know if i would. Have you ever had anything lost in the mail . Absolutely have, yeah. Are you waiting on things in the mail right now . I am. I just dont trust the mail. You dont trust in it. I would like to give them ample tile to deliver it. Why not. Im scared it might get lost. I just want to make sure that my vote was submitted. In the warehouse where Philadelphia Stores<\/a> its Voting Machines<\/a> we shared our results with the commissioner who helps oversee elections here. Better than you expected . It was better than i she says voters are right to be wary. If im hearing you correctly, what youre saying is even if a voter follows all the rules in the state of pennsylvania, you still cant guarantee as an election commissioner that that vote arrives on time. No. I can guarantee my end of it. If i get the ballot back in time, its going to be counted but i have no way of guaranteeing what happens in the Portfolio Service<\/a>. Think about that for a minute. Official election mail has a logo that we couldnt include. That logo is supposed to expedite things. Our expectations are in line with the payoffss open audit. The post master general declined our request but says its committed to delivering election mail in a timely manner. It is working with ection officials to help with that effort and educate the public. A lotta folks are asking me lately how to get their dishes as clean as possible. I tell them, you should try cascade Platinum Plus<\/a> the power of oxi. Cascade platinum oxi penetrates and breaks down food soils some detergents can leave behind, washing away even the smallest food residue, so it doesnt redeposit on your dishes.

Yuccas six days of tributes to the late congressman and civil rights activist john lewis. Sean miller spoke with the director. Thank you, thank you. Whenever you have a subject whos lived a life of public service, theres so much that can be said about his legacy. Really interested in bringing john lewis into the presents. A present. The film director don porter wanted to document. I cried. A time to solve the first black president of the United States<\/a>. It has the most racially and thick any Diverse Congress<\/a> in history. 2 work of the now late congressman john lewis. First came here by ran across. Older and wiser. Two yrs ago porter sta foll there were obvious reasons why you would do a documentary on john lewis. I mean, how do i say this delicately . The timing of this is almost other worldly. For so many respects a number are leading us. The boy from troy, alabama, would grow into the man who served in washington for 34 years. Well call on the leadership of the house we came here to do our job. Its the work he put in. We intend to march to montgomery measured in the steps freedom riders peaceful protests. Wake up america, wake up and finding confidence in his own unique voice. From sunday until about an hour ago. The way you set up part of the interview was in front of a screen showcasing video hed never seen before. Yeah. You know, one of the things you do as a director is you figure out what is the environment my subject needs in order to really be able to think deeply and calmly so we constructed three large screens, giant screens and killed the the lights and put him in the center of it. I asked him to react to those. I never seep this footage before. Porter is a georgetown trained lawyer, who switched gears after a Ford Foundation<\/a> grant helped finance her first film. It was during the time porter worked on a four part series about Bobby Kennedy<\/a> that she realized the wealth of firsthand experiences john lewis knew. He told us about volunteering for Bobby Kennedy<\/a> on the nice Martin Martin<\/a> was murder. Martin luther king encouraged bobby kaemd to speak to an all black crowd that evening. He continued with his Service Volunteering<\/a> for the kennedy campaign. He was in california on that. He was up in Bobby Kennedy<\/a>s suite watching the speech. Of course it was a terrible tragedy that night. That was the one time he really lost his hope. Dr. King had been killed, then Bobby Kennedy<\/a> was killed. On the way home, he just was despondent, but out of the ashes came his inspiration to run for. What makes him special, being successful in making that transition from activist to elected official. How you doing today . His accomplishments as a legislator are significant. Even more important and moving to me when you think about his humble beginnings. He really did as a very young person decide that he didnt want to live under segregation and he decided he if he if that was going to be his last breath, he would take his last breath fighting for justice. Throughout his life carolinas captured the policy pushing congressman hard at work. Capturing the lighter side of a man who faced the darkest of days. Chick chick chick come on. Im always interested in the person, you know, behind the story. Because i think its important for all of us to see that even a person who is brave and bold as john lewis is still a person. You know, theres a little bit of bravery many all of us, you know, so i love kind of showing the humanity behind, you know, the legendary person. Im going to let it shine let it shine an optimist who never gave up on creating a more perfect union. We will create a beloved community. We will redeem the soul of america.
