Can They Do That?

I don't mean to make this blog a running commentary on American Idol, but something remarkable happened last night. They screwed up the voting the previous night and so had everyone vote all over again. (I smell a lawsuit from the loser, but I bet the contestants' contracts are ironclad.)

Imagine that, tossing out tens of millions of votes and starting out fresh. I'm sure many many people are asking "why couldn't we do that in 2000?"
