Yes, that's correct. AT&T of Arkansas said that 38 million votes came from AT&T customers last night. Here is a link to the news story.

Damn. No wonder they didn't say the difference in votes this year. KRIS kicked his ass!
Kris didn't intend to become the American Idol. Originally, his brother Daniel wanted to audition and he talked Kris into coming with him. The rest is history. This sounds just like what happened with DC last year. |

I think American Idol really need to consider having voting limits like "Dancing with the Stars" to make it fair for all contestants. |

Suddenly the Electoral College makes a lot more sense. |

Eh, my guess is all the small town people get tons of votes on this show. Nothing new.

Here is another link to a news story on how Arkansas put together their voting campaign and help get Kris the win. AT&T of Arkansas let some Kris fans at
various events throughout the state borrow their phones and they taught them how to power text.

Wow I call bullshit on that..
You're telling me that half the votes last night came from a state with a population of 2 million? In a country of 300+ million? |

We love Kris here. Arkansas is like the neglected child. We can only take so much before we fight back. We always support our own.

This doesn't surprise me at all. For fucking Canadian Idol regional voting is rampant and fucks up the competition every year. Instead of being able talent
it becomes about the provinces/towns that power vote the most despite a person's performance.
At least in this case Kris is talented. |

Plus these AT&T reps. of Arkansas were teaching these people how to power text so they could get in more votes than that at various events. |

Do the math. 38,000 people can easily text in 1,000 texts in a four hour window. That's 38 million right there.

LOL @ you fucks thinking ONE state gave Kris the entire win. Apparently the other 49 were irrelevant because z0mgArkansasz0rz completely
unfairly swayed the voting!
