I tried voting by phone and only got through 6 times (land line 5 times and cell phone once). Either the line was busy or my call didn't go through. I saw on the DWTS's message boards that someone voted 120 times for Laila (many phone lines and maybe a PC)!!!
It just doesn't seem right that that person got through and the guys' fans couldn't unless no one else was voting for her so her lines were open and everyone was voting for the guys, making their lines busy. Some people on the message board also said that they weren't allowed their full 5 votes. I've also heard that people would call one number and the recording would thank them for voting for someone else! Some people said that if you clear your cookies that you can continue voting online. Every year the voting is screwed up--doesn't instill much confidence in the results.
