Thirty-five percent of "American Idol" voters believe their votes on the singing competition count more than or as much as voting in a presidential election, according to the latest navel-gazing study of the Fox series -- this one by Washington-based public opinion research firm Pursuant Inc.
This may be because on "Idol" you're encouraged to vote early and often, whereas in the presidential election you get to vote only once, except maybe in parts of Florida where "over-voting" looked like it might catch on in 2000.
And, mercifully, in "Idol" elections, 1 vote = 1 vote, unlike our system for picking our president.
But, hey, why rain on another study on "American Idol"?
