How can the voting be tabulated fairly if people in the home city of Clay Aiken can't even cast their votes??

Being the old fart that I am, I don't watch crap like this but I wonder......How can the voting be fair if everybody votes for the hometown favorite?

Not every hometown has a contestant.

It's a pretty fun show from an old fart perspective, you get to make fun of the girls dressed like ho's, and every now and then there are some real gems. The last two male contestants this year have excellent voices, of course all that talent is going to be wasted on synthetic pop music, but such is life.

I don't know why that exchange cracks me up but it does.

They get between 7-21 million calls, not all hometown ;)All the contestants are from the South and I'm Midwest ;)
