To the Spouter from Lower who equated casting your vote with voting for American Idol; You do know that you can vote as many times as you like for your favorite idol, don’t you? There’s no need to verify anything, anytime by anyone. Is that what you want? The process is slow for a reason. The only reason you “thought” races were decided the same day before is because, not that long ago, the major networks used to “call” the winner before the counting was completed.
