I saw many stories in the media a few weeks ago saying that the number of votes for American Idol was higher than recorded in recent Presidential elections.

However, upon doing my own research:

111 million people voted in the 2000 election. (source: Census Bureau)

~66 million people voted in the last American Idol. (source: Wikipedia)
