    The only chance I have at winning this is if they're using Diebold machines to count the votes.

    See, this is why you don't let submissions sit in the queue. Tomorrow is October 31st. One day is significantly shorter than two weeks.

    Lets be honest, people only notice the sysadmins and network admins when things don't work, then they get flack. When they are busting their humps keeping things working or improving their systems they are generally taken for granted.
