Todd,
I don't think it is within your rights to arbitrarily set a deadline,
and then set an extension to that deadline. There are a lot of people
living overseas whose votes won't come in on time and if the result is
close...there will need to be time for a recount. I think I'll go ahead
and file a contest to the eventual results now to get a jump on the
crowd.
