Extended the COLORS array in graph controller so that elections with multiple
candidates won't have graphs with dangerously similar colors. After 10
candidates though, they're on their own. Also added captions to the pref_tables
of the Schulze method to quickly explain how to read them. Feel free to
edit/move them. I tried to make them quick, explanatory and look-alikes to the
rest of the text, but definitely failed on the look-alike requirement. Please
fix...
Added the forgot password functionality to the voters of Full Elections. Also, modified the votestart e-mail to reflect the new Selectricity home (selectricity.org).
The other election methods will now display the winner they elected in their own
partials when selected. The link to the voter map and host names has been moved
into the side-div and the link name was appended to include more info.

The session storage is now done via the database, be sure to relaod your
databases. It seems that the logout error was cured, in that if you reload the
database while logged in, you shouldn't get an error when returning to the
site. I don't know how the session plugin we're using will be working with the
new storage method.

Commit memcache work. memcache is only enabled in production, and currently only thing cached are election results. At least 5-fold render speed improvement...
Added the Gruff library to the lib/ directory of the the rails folder, and the
environment require statement now uses that one. Made modifcations to Gruff
library to alternate placement of labels and crowded bar graphs. Also made a
table for approval vote method.

Add IE6 specific hacks CSS that only gets loaded if user agent is MSIE 6.
This sets the background-image to render using DirectX alpha channels to properly transparentize PNG's. Also removes ordering on ordered lists so that we don't get 1. 1. 1. 1. in the dragdrop list.

Fix full voter addition bug where the regex flunks the trailing \r on middle items in the list. At the same time, make sure to only add a voter to the election if it passes validation. This prevents cases where the voter shows up on the AJAX list but mysteriously disappears after confirming.
Both quickvotes and full-size elections use the same partial in views/voter
('sortable_vote') for the ajax voting. One gimmick seems to be that the button
is appearing above the actual list of candidates which is kinda odd, but
doesn't seem to be affecting wah'ts being committed in anyway. Also made some
modifications to the graphs and the graphs to help with how their displayed in
the new theme, hopefully it looks a litle better. Don't quite know how to
improve the results page further for quickvotes... will try keeping them
uncomputed until people ask for them?
Created a partial to DRY the aja voting method. Modified the voter class to
have both a FullVoter and QuickVoter `types`. Also changed the index and review
methods so that they are more error resistant in the face of ajax voting.
Application.rb now includes the sort_candidates method from
quickvote_controller so all election types can use it. Also updated the
election results pages so that they don't throw errors any more. (Show and Hide
