SIMPLE & QUICK: States and campaigns prepare, a Legend lays in State, the ADA is forgot-celebrated, and POTUS 45 plays golf 100 days before election

100 days may be a long time to a child and a politician, but fully functioning adults know exactly what can and cannot be achieved in just over three months. For the first time, the majority of Americans are projected to cast their vote by mail-in ballot. The Coronavirus pandemic has given reason for many States to extend absentee excuse and others to proactively send out mail-back ballots to registered voters. A few states withholding. State and campaign officials are surely spending all of the next 100 days in preparation and execution of the November elections.

Campaigns are in full swing, especially in swing states. Fundraising is peaking and rhetoric is being honed. Candidates coast-to-coast are plugged-into virtual town halls and zoom meetings with constituents. There may be 100 days until election day, but anxious candidates are aware that voters are mailing in ballots before then.

An American civil rights legend is being honored 100 days before the very act of freedom he was once beaten over and later legislated in expansion for— democratic elections and the Right to vote. Properly escorted by the Alabama State Troopers who once set dog on him, Mr. Lewis was taken by horse-drawn carriage across the Edmund Pettus Bridge one last time. America’s cherished “Boy from Troy” is being celebrated, memorialized, and honored from the depths of the Deep South to the furthest corner of the Pacific Northwest and back again across the amber waves of grain to D.C.

30 years ago today, Republican President, George H.W. Bush, signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law. The expansive bill aimed to be the baseline for access equity for Americans with disabilities across the United States. Despite still not being fully implemented, the ADA is lauded as the most successful Federal protections bill ever enacted. Unfortunately, it has lost support from the very party who once desired an American landscape accessible for all.

For as pressing as a pandemic, economic collapse, failed public school re-openings, a ditched national convention, and hurricanes affecting Americans in Texas and Hawaii may seem, President Donald Trump spent today golfing at his New Jersey resort. Maybe recess will reinvigorate the child President after a tough week of person, woman, man, camera, tv interviews. Perhaps in two weeks the Donald will see his solo coronavirus revivals reverse his polling concerns.

That’s extra points.
