     I didn't know if there was something ready-made for the task.  If
not, then perhaps we should just make an "ERR5RS:Polling Place" page.
The protocol would be one section per poll, the statement of the issue
at the top of the section, and votes recorded at one indent below
that.  The votes would be yea/nay/mu followed by the voter's name,
possibly followed by explanation or pointer to an explanation,
depending on the length.
    I'd prefer to only count votes from logged-in accounts.
