def check_results():
  threading.Timer(30.0, check_results).start()
  r = requests.get('http://soaelections.gci.net/data/results.htm')
  soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content)
  results = soup.select('table')[3].select('tr')[4].select('td')[2].text
  if results == '':
    print "."
  else:
    print results

if __name__ == "__main__":
  check_results()
