US news: Early voting, Supreme Court ruling, and Walmart pricing

Several key developments are occurring in the United States regarding elections, retail, and culture. For the 2026 midterm elections, early voting is now available in 47 states and Washington, D.C., though rules vary by location. Notably, Alabama, Mississippi, and New Hampshire do not offer traditional early voting.

In legal news, the Supreme Court unanimously blocked a Republican-drawn congressional map in Missouri. The justices ruled that changing district lines during an active election cycle would cause widespread voter confusion, upholding a state Supreme Court decision that requires voter approval for new maps.

In the business sector, Walmart has addressed concerns regarding its expansion of digital shelf labels. The company stated that personal information will not be used to adjust prices and that item costs will remain fixed regardless of a customer's income, purchase history, or the time of day.

Additionally, the television industry recently marked the 90th anniversary of the birth of pioneer Don Cornelius.
