It would be easier to manipulate with a manual recount.

It would? With 200 million people watching? Got me on that one.

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...


Its only cheating when you get caught? You and I have a different understanding of morality.

Give me a break. This is not football, where the consequence of a bad call ends the next day in a few newspaper articles. We are talking about the legitimacy of the US presidency here, in the eyes of the nation and the entire world.
