A bot I used to cast votes for my high school's football coach.

   This is a bot I used to cast votes for my high school's Football coach.
   It is written specifically for that poll, and in the interest of keeping the skiddies away 
   I will leave it to you to reverse-engineer PollDaddy. 
   Enjoy!
