BALLOTS.README

TODO:
- import elections with multiple district sets.
    alternative: just import district sets. Or allow definition of district sets in UI?
    still need export/import. Maybe a different file format. Or a similar file format?
    similar file format would work the best. 
    new xml tag, district sets?
- AIGA styling
- this page intentionally left blank
- localize ordinals
