The 2020 U.S. presidential election—held during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic—had early voting and mail-in ballots, and final results were delayed by days. The American Idol television programs counts votes during a commercial break.

“American Idol can count 130 million votes during a commercial break….no excuse for this” was posted on Facebook by Angel Alexander on November 4, 2020. “@realDonaldTrump American idol can count 130 million votes during a commercial break… no excuse for this!!!!! #Trump2020” was posted on Twitter by BARBARA ANN on November 4, 2020. “American Idol can count 130 million votes in a commercial break. This is annoying” was posted on Facebook later on November 4, 2020.

“Feels like the whole country is on Maury waiting to find out who’s the father” is a different saying for the same situation.
