It plans on challenging the results, while Amazon denies the allegations.

Bloody Sunday anniversary

The clash was captured on camera and seen across the country. On Sunday, President Biden signed a voting access executive order to ensure voting rights for all Americans. Bishop Harry L. Seawright, the presiding prelate of the 9th Episcopal Church, joins CBSN's Lana Zak to discuss the impact of "Bloody Sunday" in the modern political climate.
