[conspire] Vote counting CA

Very timely -- and it happens to be the case that members of my
household intend to do in-person voting on the Thursday or Friday before
Election Day.  This strikes me as giving the optimal combination of 
positive confirmation of delivery with avoiding crowding by sidestepping
peak attendance.

Also of possible interest:  My ballot analysis is _almost_ done.
Sorry about the delays.  (There have been a few distractions.)
