The real question is did AT&T help Kris Allen beat Adam Lambert on American Idol?

AT&T provided phones for free text messages at viewing parties in Allen’s home state of Arkansas but not at parties for Lambert supporters. Some at Allen’s parties were also instructed on how to send multiple text messages at the press of one button.

AT&T is an Idol sponsor and was the only network on which you could text in votes. The Fox Network stands by its decision calling the vote fair and accurate.

Ok…that sounds fishy…but really how many people in a room could have swayed the vote.  I’m the first to start thinking conspiracy theory…but this story seems like small potatoes.
