Nah. I think we can safely believe that the public votes are the real thing.
Yeah, I thought so. But it is amazing how the performances touted by Simon (which are really so so) always get high numbers. I would not put it beyond the show to have callers or machine callers who help stack the show.

Plus, they NEVER have an accounting firm on hand like the Oscars to verify the results. They don't even claim that. Whose to say they don't pay themselves (by toll call voting) to have a result closer to what they want, especially in the middle phases where we are now.
