 Hmmmm...in that case, how will we handle getting a vote to the vote-taker if
it is impossible for the person to reach that site? (It happens)..asking
someone else to vote for you is out..God could people  have fun with that..
perhaps we could 1) set up 2 different addresses, the 2nd of which would
route mail to the 1st (if mail to #1 is unreliable); or, 2) require that the
intended vote-reception site is VERY accessable (now define very).
 Also, a recommendation: while we're at it, define a standard form of vote
reporting (I've seen name/ address, name, sorted by address/name/date of
receipt/you_name_it). That way it will be a bit easier to read the reports
since we'll have some idea in advance of what il look like.
