I am sorry but this kept coming up in November....please explain to me how anyone could manipulate votes with the entire world watching? The manipulation occurred on election nite before the world stepped into the picture. It would be easier to manipulate with a manual recount. A lot of the vote determinations from dimpled chads are rather subjective. It doesn't even have to be out right manipulation or fraud. The fact that the process is subjective can cause it to biased without a specific consious plan to make it biased. But if I suspected my r. back may have stepped out of bounds, I would ask for a photo replay....if its true, then I would accept the decision of the refs. There can be no other way.....you can never win by cheating. I can agree with the not winning by cheating idea, but I would not consider refraining from calling attention to a bad call cheating. Bribing the ref to make the bad call would be cheating... Tim
