remember the "predictive" Redskins-Packers game?
Late in the game, the Redskins scored a touchdown. The officials called it a touchdown. It was about to be scored as a touchdown. It would have thoroughly changed the direction of the game.

An official called back the play on a penalty.

The Packers went on to win.

Word is, the Ohio Democratic Party is insisting on a fair count of all ballots, including provisional, and a recount of punchcard ballots. Furthermore, the "errors" that resulted in 93000 extra votes (more than registered) are under serious scrutiny.

Everything is not as it seems, at first. Perhaps we are about to see a presidential touchdown called back on a penalty.

2. I wish I could even hope that you're right. I don't think "the powers"
will "allow" it. :(

4. "After further review"
the play stands as called.

Call me an apostate, I just cant get myself on the recount train. I apologize to my fellow DUers, I just dont have the heart.

5. Sorry, you can't "review" penalty flags
Touchdowns? Yeah. Out of bounds? Yeah. Pass completion? Yeah.

But this flag was thrown before the pass.

Don't worry about "getting on the recount train" or not. It's out of your hands anyway.
