+<p> Selectricity is voting machinery for the masses. We help groups make
+better decisions, more easily. We allow voting, usually in form of
+ranking a list of choices in order of preference, and have the computer
+help groups make better decisions.</p>
+
+<p>Selectricity is simple to use and convenient. Anyone can create the
+simplest election in under a minute and voting is even easier.  Results
+can be computed instaneously.</p>
+
+<p>Selectricity is powerful and secure. It has been used for electing
+the boards of non-profit organizations and or choosing the officers of
+student groups.  It is simple and fast enough to help a group decide
+where to go to dinner or when to have a meeting. It's flexible enough to
+be integrated into an outside website or used from a mobile phone.</p>
+
+<p>The best way to learn more about Selectricity is to use it. Get started
