We want site administrators to be able to create polls, which only students in
grades that they (administrators) select can vote in.

There are going to be four groups. *always*.
- G-1: 9th grade
- G-2: 10th grade
- G-3: 11th grade
- G-4: 12th grade

This is broken down into three steps, or 'sub-apps':
	- Nominations:
		Administrative Actions:
				These can basically be thought of as polls with the student body
				as nominations. However, they will probably be done differently,
				using a real django app (in the same project, of course).
				'nominate' will be set up in the following way:
					:: Administrator logs in, clicks new poll
					:: Administrator chooses all groups allowed to nominate
					:: Administrator chooses all groups of possible nominations
					:: Administrator chooses the date which nominations open/close
					:: Administrator hits submit, poll opens if it's supposed to.
				* The poll open/close date is simple. If the current date is past
				the close date, or before the open date, don't allow any voting ;).
				Otherwise, allow it.
		Student Actions:
				Students will go to /nominate and see:
					- Form to enter their student ID.
						- When they enter their ID, as soon as it reaches 5-chars, we
						  start doing (AJAX) checks on every character input.
						  As soon as it matches a student ID, we inform the user
						  that it's valid. If after ~2 seconds it doesn\'t match,
						  show a red box, and the error (non-numeric, no match, etc).
					- Form to enter the name of a candidate.
						- This form *SEARCHES*, nothing in this form can submit as a
						  real nomination. EVER. BAD. ETC. NO! ### ### ###
						- AJAX...More on this later.
					- Submit button which runs a bunch of checks, and submits it.
						- How do we do these checks in django? Are they necessary?
	- Vote:
		Administrative Actions:
			:: Administrator logs in, goes to the current nomination
			:: Administrator closes the nomination, if it is not already.
			:: Administrator sees a list of all nominations, highest-count first,
			   and a checkbox and textfield next to each.
					- He/she can select this nomination to be entered into the poll.
					- He/she *must* edit the textfield to put the position.
						- Shortcuts like 'q' and 'k' for king/queen, might not be a 
						  bad idea.
			:: Nominations are entered into the poll, at the touch of the Submit
			   button.
			:: Administrator is sent to the poll options form, where he/she can
			   select poll-specific things, like duration.
			:: Administrator then goes into the poll in the ACP, and opens voting.
		Student Actions:
			## TBA
	- Viewing Votes:
		Administrative Actions:
			## TBA
		Student Actions:
			-- NONE --, this is part of the ACP only :)
