One market research found that only half the items it tracked during the week of the sale were cheap- er.

Ahead of fourth Prime Day on Mon- day, USA TODAY reviewed pricing analyses from four market-tracking to determine wheth- er criticism of the 36-hour sales event that some sellers use it to clear out undesirable stock before the holidays was valid.

The analytics companies focused on certain cat- egories that in previous years some of the most reliable deals.

EMarketer, Market Track, and Gartner L2 found the items most likely to be deeply discounted on Prime Day are those or- dered on Alexa digital assistant via Echo or other smart speakers. own electronics such as its Kindle tablets, Echo smart speakers and Amazon pri- vate label clothing and other items also show substantial discounts. Food and beverages were less likely to be deeply discounted. The absolute best bests will be Alexa-only deals, says Market Track, an ad and pricing analysis During last Prime Day sale, items avail- able only via Alexa were on average 33 percent their everyday price, said Ryne Misso, Market marketing director. These mostly high-end products.

Two-thirds of the sale items only on Alexa were for consumer packaged goods such as toiletries and cleaning products, Market Track found. may have been a push by Amazon to get more consumers used to buying their household goods toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, etc. through their Alexa Misso said.

From this point, Douglas said her hope is that those who participated in the pilgrimage will return to Char- lottesville with knowledge to share with a community deeply scarred by racial strain.

State law has banned PAC-to-PAC transfers between state bodies since 2010; before then, political groups rou- tinely shifted money between political action committees to hide the source of donations. Attorney Al Agricola, repre- senting King, argued that the law made it illegal for Alabama candidates to re- ceive money from federal PACs that re- ceive money from other PACs.
