:2cents American Idol Voting Doesn't Make Sense

Ok now, last night, American Idol had 3 hours of voting after the show. Well, I thought for the hell of it, I'd place my vote Well, after trying OVER 100 times, just to see if I could get in, I gave up.

Now, this brings me up to my point here. Just say they have 100,000 phone voting lines for Clay and 100,000 voting lines for Ruben (I don't know how many lines for sure) and I'm sure with the last night, all of them were constantly busy for those 3 hours with people calling getting busy signals all night. I tried at the beginning and after a couple of hours into it and it was still constantly busy.

So, if that's the case where the voting is limited by the lines and if all of them are busy, how could there be an actual true count ?There could be twice as many people trying to vote for Clay, but if those people could only get in on the 100,000 lines were tied up constantly then the voting would be limited, equal to what Ruben was doing, rite ??? I suppose that for AT&T, it'd be pretty damn hard to whip up enough lines to take in every vote without a busy signal, just for a limited time like that.

I know, I know, a lot of you will probably say that it's all rigged anyways, which it could be, this is just my on the matter.
