No recount required.

A full week after American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry was voted off and his fans still won’t let it go.

One of Chris’ fan web sites, www.TheDaughtryGang.com, is disseminating a petition, demanding a recount of the votes that sent Chris packing, reports the Los Angeles Times. And they’ve gotten off to a fairly robust start, collecting over 30,000 signatures of Daughtry devotees on their online appeal, posted on www.ThePetitionSite.com. Those who have signed believe that the vote totals announced on the show were incorrect and are insisting that Chris return to the AI stage to continue in the competition.

But, even with the support of his fanatics, it’s not looking like Chris will be back for an encore performance.

"While acknowledging that dedicated fans may be unhappy with the outcome, the system only reports the decision of the voting public," a representative for the Fox Network said. "As we have said before, you can't take votes for granted on this show." Nor clearly ignore a widespread case of McPheever.
