The Arizona Audit is apparently doing a recount of their recount.

Apparently they have figured out that their first recount by hand was inaccurate and are doing a machine recount which is matching the original official results.
Ken Bennett, the liaison from the state Senate. to the Cyber Ninjas, has been banned from the floor where the audit is taking place.

Mask report from Connecticut

Just got back from the local supermarket. A substantial majority of people were back to berating masks. Even a week ago very few were wearing them at the market. Clearly people are concerned about the delta variant. My wife wore one. I didn't. I'll wait for directions from Governor Lamont. He's steered me right so far.
