Anyone ever see any stats as to what % of AI votes are phoned in vs. being texted. Sems to me that the youngsters are mnore prone to texting, and it's easier to get the votes in that way, and more of them..

But, don't they charge for text votes, while dialed votes are free?

I've often wondered, because of the free landline vs. pay- to-text, whether all votes are weighted equally or if text votes count for more: like 2:1 or 3:1 or even higher.
