What I feel, is that the "Internet voting" feature was added to get you ATTACHED. That's all. Of course, you can see from the behaviour of internet voting that the system was in place for taking log of IPs voting and restrictions on voting logic etc. The Internet Voting feature was refinined during Paresh's 2nd or 3rd round, when they realized UK fans can vote more conveniently only from web. But the truth is that inspite of publicizing the means of alternate voting via internet it wasn't taken in account of counting in any result so far. Ltely, the result declread was always flashed region+metro, and then zone-wise of zones within India. Never seen overseas vote count! Is it remained just an eye wash?
If they had to count it in the result, it would have been either unbelievable outcome or the diluted the issue of Zone that was keeping more wwight to show's publicity.
You won't believe maximum internet votes trend went something like in the below order:
initially, HC/NJ/DS ----- (till final-5),
then, HC/DS --------(final-4 & final-3),
then, DS ---------(final-2).
That was for your favorite singers…
If Zee really wants to take the numbers in stock, then
>>> the final result would be same but even higher spike in the margin,
>>> previous results would have been very different, but you would have seen the order as obvious as their talent.
Now, you may feel that your effort of voting to your favorite candidate via Internet remained uncontributing. True. We cannot help, needless to mention many of you made daily sincere attempts of voting, one from office one/two from home, many of you shared PC in your office, when you encountered one vote/IP/day restriction you were eager to count it for next day, some of you requested friends in call center staff, even in computer institutes to spare their 10 seconds, on every machine, every day, some of you visited intenet caffe, hopped terminal to terminal, and much more … all this because you were not in India, not called from eligible ZONE!
