American's are demanding a revote!
for American Idol.... We can live with all the cases of 11/2 elections where voters would press the Kerry button, but Bush came up. That's fine... But not American Idol, that's an outrage!

'Idol' rep: Vote tinkering? 'Rubbish'

Incorrect info on Tuesday's show prompts revote
Thursday, March 24, 2005 Posted: 8:51 AM EST (1351 GMT)

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- It's "rubbish" to suggest there was a deliberate effort to tinker with "American Idol" by putting wrong voting information on-screen, a series producer said Wednesday.

Fox's talent contest, which viewers decide by casting phone or text-messaging votes, showed incorrect call-in numbers Tuesday for Mikalah Gordon, Anwar Robinson and Jessica Sierra.

It was the second unsettling incident for "American Idol" in two weeks. Finalist Mario Vazquez quit abruptly and without explanation March 12.

"Why would we contaminate the honesty of one of the top-rated shows in America by fiddling with it?" executive producer Ken Warwick asked Wednesday in a telephone news conference.
