Well, I agree that that would be an improvement, but would it reduce the "anti-voting" element that seems to be taking place with this season of AI?
The real problem is that the audience can vote more than once. As Peter Noone commented on: "It's a voting competition, not a singing one."
Would it not be possible to have software than would register which phone number has already voted? Surely this would make it more fair.
My fear is that, as I mentioned in my last post, there may be no incentive for the producers of the show to make a change to the voting system, as they make money (I'm sure) as to how many folks make phone calls, as they're all pay calls.
