COW is UPGRADING this weekend.  I'm moving to a jail format
where specific services (web, mail, dns, shell) each have
their own jail.

So why should you care?  Well, if you want to READ your
mail it will live in the mail.cow.org jail which will be
readable by mail clients only.  This means you'll have to
figure out fetchmail or use the web interface.  I have
Squirrelmail installed with the typical plugins and people
have been using it for years for the exclusive virtual
mail domains.

Web will similarly live in a jail.  The web share will
be mounted from the shell jail and things should be
transparent.

That being said I will be in Cleveland this weekend
to get data moved over to the NAS and get things ironed
out.  If you have any questions, comments, or concerns
please get a hold of me ASAP.

Why election results change after election night:

At the end of election night, the Department of Elections reported results from all polling places. However, there are ballots that cannot be processed on Election Night, including absentee ballots that the Department of Elections receives on election day, provisional ballots that are cast at polling places, and ballots with write-in votes. In general, it takes the Department two weeks or more to process all absentee and provisional ballots and write-in votes.

All aspects of the election process are open to public view, so candidates, members of the media and the public may observe signature verification and processing of provisional and absentee ballots and write-in votes.

Each afternoon after election day the Department will release a cumulative report that includes provisional and absentee ballot cards processed that day.[1]
