Voting Error Prompts 'American Idol' Revote

Archive

Contestants on American Idol are getting a second chance.

Because the wrong voting numbers were displayed on Tuesday’s show, the Fox network will allow voting to remain open for an extra two hours on Wednesday.

Phone lines will remain open for two hours following the episode, when another singer will be booted off this week by viewers.
