All football fans know the drill - after a close play is ruled your in your teams favor, your team hustles to the line of scrimmage to start the next play...negating a challenge and review. Obviously what Democrats and the MSM are attempting now.
What's interesting to me is the history of the replay review in football (and now other sports) and how it relates to the current election. We had the technology (instant replay) long before the video review was brought into major league sports. Blown calls by officials were now obvious to fans. It was an obvious improvement the game to allow video review. There are exactly ZERO football fans who oppose video reviews (and the challenge flag system). The only opposition to video review was it took too long, but that argument never held up against the continuing improvements in technology and the desire of everyone for JUSTICE on the football field.
Same thing applies here - to elections. We now have the technology for we (the average voter) to see bad calls (i.e. vote fraud). We have the technology to quickly review bad calls in elections. Elections are way more consequential than football games. Regardless of how this election plays out, the side opposing thorough reviews of elections (and voter rolls, and voter ID laws) cannot stand against the demand from the voter. Unless, we continue to shrug at weird elections results and walk away each time this happens to our team.
It depends on what you mean “by our team”. The deafening silence coming from the GOPe, including Mike Pence, is telling.
we are finding out every day who exactly is on our team
Good analogy.
Exactly what happened...
Good analogy. Another is stopping a marching offense on 4th down only to have the ref make a bad call and giving another 1st down. It takes the wind out of the sales. A 5 minute timeout should be allowed in those cases so that the Ronnie Lott’s can bring the defense back in focus. Remember it’s easier to say your sorry than to ask for permission.
