Pennsylvania holds literal roll of the dice for election audits
Pennsylvania's election leaders do this after every election: they audit a random sample of election results, examining them carefully to make sure there are no irregularities.
So, how do they choose the sample? Well, it's almost like a low-tech lottery drawing.
One volunteer after another rolled the dice and the Department of State recorded the dice-roll results, which correspond to which election results will get an extra-close look.
'This is our sixth statewide risk-limiting audit since the 2022 general election,' Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said. 'RLAs are proven to be the highest standard of comprehensive election audits because the RLA process provides a statistically sound, scientific method for confirming, with a high degree of confidence, that the reported outcome of the audited election is accurate.'

Youngkin unleashes cutting-edge AI technology in effort to slash Virginia's government red tape
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is embarking on a landmark project to use "agentic" artificial intelligence to hasten his 2022 pledge to cut one-quarter of Virginia's red-tape regulatory structure during his tenure. The term-limited Republican signed an executive order that introduced a pilot program using AI to scan the entirety of Richmond's regulations and official guidance. "We ask each agency to calculate the savings to them associated with any action that is taken. For more information about our methodology, I would point you to the Regulatory Economic Analysis Manual, which can be found online," Youngkin spokesperson Peter Finocchio told Fox News Digital. "AI is utilized in two key ways in this process: comparing existing regulations with what is actually required by statute, to identify any redundancies, and comparing Virginia's regulations to those in other states, to see if other states are accomplishing similar goals more efficiently and with less red tape." "AI is utilized in this way to make recommendations, but there is always a human in the loop making the final decisions, which is required by Executive Order 30," Finocchio added. Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence that differs from typical reactive bots like ChatGPT or Grok that provide information based on prompts, and instead can be programmed to pursue a goal, make autonomous decisions and take actions. Driverless cars like Waymo taxis are another real-world example of such technology. AI will "supercharge" the Youngkin administration's efforts, his office said in a statement, and help ensure that government is streamlined and modernized to better serve the people of the Old Dominion. "We have made tremendous strides towards streamlining regulations and the regulatory process in the Commonwealth. Using emergent artificial intelligence tools, we will push this effort further in order to continue our mission of unleashing Virginia's economy in a way that benefits all of its citizens," said Youngkin, who was a successful executive in the private sector before entering government. The AI tool will alert the state to any areas in which regulations are redundant, contradictory or overbroad. State agencies will then be able to use the AI platform in the future as well to continue breaking down the barriers to effective governance. "The 'Virginia model' for regulatory modernization has become the gold standard across the U.S., with other states and federal agencies looking to replicate our reforms," Virginia Regulatory Management Director Reeve Bull said. "With this newest initiative, Virginia will continue to lead the nation, becoming the first state to launch an agentic AI tool to power the regulatory reduction process," Bull added. Thus far, state government guidance documentation has been culled by nearly half, as roughly 48% of the total word counts have been deleted. That figure adds to the 26% of regulatory requirements statewide that have been either streamlined or eliminated, resulting in an estimated $1.2 billion annual taxpayer savings. The state indicated that there are still some agencies in Richmond that have not met Youngkin's 25% goal laid out in his original order.

Brockton lawmaker wants to make South Shore bar pizza the state's official slice
A Brockton lawmaker wants to tell the world about the South Shore's homegrown pizza, but he'll start with the rest of the state. Why it matters: Massachusetts doesn't have a designated pizza style like New York, Chicago and Detroit, despite being the birthplace of some unique varieties. Bar pizza, the distinct thin-crust pan pizza from Brockton and surrounding areas, has exploded in popularity over the last decade. State of play: State Sen. Michael Brady (D-Brockton) wants to name South Shore bar pizza the official pizza variety of Massachusetts. The legislation he filed is the first attempt to establish a state pizza designation. Between the lines: If it passes, it'll be a win for the South Shore and for oily-carb lovers everywhere. If the bill fails, it'll be because parochial pizza pride led to a food fight at the State House. What makes it a bar pizza: There are variations on the form (looking at you, Town Spa), but most bar pies are single-serving, 10-inch thin-crust pan pizzas with cheese scattered all the way to the pan's lip so it creates a burned "lace" around the crust. There's limited crushed tomato sauce under a bed of cheddar, or a cheddar mixture. The crust is buttery in the middle and crisp on the edges. Most traditional toppings are available, but you're likely to see more chorizo and linguica and less pepperoni the closer you get to the South Coast. Dig in: Old-school bar-pie lovers will tell you the real secret is in the seasoned pans, which build flavor over time. Used pizza pans become a hot commodity if they ever come up for sale. What they're saying: "I think it'll help businesses, and especially the places that I represent," Brady told Axios. "Hopefully, by getting some publicity about this, it might bring more business to the Commonwealth and revenue to the Commonwealth." Legally speaking, Brady's bill defines bar pizza as 10-inch thin crust with edge-to-edge cheese coverage. The legislation faces no apparent organized opposition, and Brady reports some positive local media response and public reception across the state. The intrigue: The bill will have to capture the attention of Democratic leaders to be adopted. One hurdle could be Rep. Aaron Michlewitz, the chairman of the all-powerful House Ways and Means Committee. Michlewitz hails from Boston's North End, a hot spot for traditional Italian and New York-style slices. Flashback: Bar pizza started popping up around Brockton-area taverns nearly 90 years ago and was popularized by the Cape Cod Café in 1939.

Is it safe to travel to Thailand and Cambodia? Foreign Office issue updated advice after border clashes
Relations between Thailand and Cambodia have deteriorated over the past week, with the two countries exchanging fire across several disputed border zones on Thursday, 24 July. The Thai health ministry said 14 civilians and a soldier had been killed in the fighting so far and 46 people wounded. The Cambodian government did not provide any such details but an provincial official in Oddar Meanchey said a civilian had been killed and five wounded. Tensions have run high between the two countries since a soldier was killed during gunfire in a disputed border area in late May, only to escalate again earlier this week after Thailand accused Cambodia of laying landmines in a disputed territory. Both countries attract large numbers of tourists each year, with Cambodia's Angkor Wat temple complex and its capital Phnom Penh major draws, while Thailand sees many visitors in cities like Bangkok and Chiang Mai, along with islands such as Phuket and Koh Samui. While these hotspots are not located near the border clashes, tourists should be aware of the closure of the crossings between the two countries as tensions escalate. Read more: Thailand-Cambodia border clash latest Where have clashes occurred? Gunfire began early on Thursday morning near the ancient Prasat Ta Moan Thom temple, found along the border between Thailand's Surin province and Cambodia's Oddar Meanchey. Both sides accused the other of firing the first shots, initiating the attack. Further clashes were reported near the Prasat Ta Krabey site and along the border separating Cambodia's Preah Vihear province and Thailand's Ubon Ratchathani. Footage in Thailand showed civilians fleeing explosions and seeking shelter in concrete bunkers. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet claimed Thailand had targeted Cambodian military positions in multiple places. One of Thailand's six F-16 fighter jets launched an attack, destroying what Thai officials described as a Cambodian military target. Has the shared border closed? Thailand has ordered the closure of all the crossings along its 817km border shared with Cambodia, areas of which are undemarcated. What is the UK government's advice? In its travel advice for Cambodia, the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) confirmed the border's closure. 'Land borders/crossings between Cambodia and Thailand are temporarily suspended,' it wrote in an update on Thursday. 'The line of the international border near the Preah Vihear temple ('Khaoi Pra Viharn' in Thai) has been in dispute between Cambodia and Thailand, with occasional clashes between Cambodian and Thai troops. 'There have also been disputes over control of the Ta Moan and Ta Krabey temples, which are close to the Cambodia-Thailand border. 'Take extra care when travelling in this area, and follow the instructions of the local authorities.' The FCDO travel advice for Thailand says the same about the border crossing, but adds: 'Take extra care and stay alert in border areas and follow the instructions of local authorities, especially at tourist destinations such as the Preah Vihear temple, the Ta Kwai temple and the Ta Muen Thom temple. 'There are also unexploded landmines in the border area. Stay on marked paths, especially around Ta Krabey.' Separately, the FCDO advises against all but essential travel to parts of the south, near the Thailand-Malaysia border, including the Pattani Province, Yala Province, Narathiwat Province and southern Songkhla Province – south of the A43 road between Hat Yai and Sakom, and south of the train line which runs between Hat Yai and Padang Besar. FCDO also advises against all but essential travel on the Hat Yai to Padang Besar train line that runs through these provinces. Can I cancel my holiday? As the FCDO has not warned against non-essential travel to Thailand or Cambodia, there will be no special circumstances in place to be able to cancel a trip for a full refund. The conditions for cancelling your trip will be dependent on your holiday provider, so it's best to contact them if you're looking to postpone. There is no obligation for companies to refund bookings if you want to cancel, and you will not be able to claim on your travel insurance due to safety concerns unless government advice changes. Check your insurance policies and speak to your insurer to see where you the daily Crossword
