I was disenfranchised here in Florida. At one point, I got a voice on my phone that said I tried too many times and I had to quit for awhile. I think they had Clay's phone lines rigged to slow us down. I had everything thrown at me to get my vote through about two hours later. IT WAS FIXED. I am done with AI because the fix was in for Ruben.

Proves nothing. It is common knowledge that the voting system is set up to deny anyone who's able to make too many calls too fast, in order to keep out "war dialers." There was a contestant last year whose fans got together and wardialed her thousands of votes via linked computer modems or something, so they put a limit in.

By the way, Occam's Razor nukes your conspiracy theory. If "they" had every intention of declaring Ruben the winner no matter what, why would they have to go to the bother of blocking phone lines? AT&T is never going to release a set of audited numbers; the show's producers could have written whatever the hell they wanted on those little cards and handed them to Ryan, even if the true totals were 23,999,999 to 1.

I was not war dialing but a female voice came on and told me I had to stop dialing. That happened to other people and I was dialing slowly but consistently with no result. We haven't had a good conspiracy here at FR lately. Well, I'm done with AI. You're right. They changed the vote count three times and maybe by tomorrow, it will change again. So Fox isn't as fair and balanced as I was led to believe. LOL

Howlin please PING YOUR AI LIST. MSNBC IS doing an expose tonight at 8:00 est re: the prospect that AI was fixed. My tin hat fits just fine. Of course it was fixed. Even my internet provider has a blurb about auditing the votes.

So, this will help Clay's sales and Ruben will get caught in the scandal even though it's not his fault. They need to find out if there were any dead phone lines for contest 01. Florida had dead lines for Clay and that weird thing I told you about. Raleigh had dead phone lines.

It may be hyperbole to get people to watch msnbc but apparently, lots of Clay fans feel they were disenfranchised.

CLAY'S MY AMERICAN IDOL even though I didn't get 100 votes in like Rube's mom, etc.
