There will be no X Factor USA results show tomorrow (November 7th)! At least it's refreshing to hear that the votes do count, Simon! Well, we're led to believe that they do. Here is the statement released by the show regarding the screw-up with the voting graphics displayed at the end of the performance show episode.
From The X Factor USA:
As a result of a graphics error (incorrect voting numbers were displayed on screen) during the performance recap at the end of tonight's East Coast broadcast of THE X FACTOR, the Top 13 acts will perform their “Save Me” songs for America's re-vote, in a live, one-hour performance show airing tomorrow, Thursday, Nov. 7 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed). The results from tomorrow night's vote will be revealed next week on THE X FACTOR airing Wednesday, Nov. 13 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

What do you think? Is this the correct way to handle things? Now will they understand what pressure means?!

Personal aside: Simon, no, now you'll understand what pressure means. Ratings have brought this show to the brink of cancellation, and there was a voting glitch during the first night of live voting shows? These contestants have shown up and delivered their time and effort. Enough. America is fickle. Someone who delivered during the true performance show could suffer the consequences of this error. The results might not mean anything to you, but this is an opportunity for these acts. Case in point:
