Convert front page election stats to websocket

Equal-Vote / star-server

STAR Voting is an upgrade to our current way of voting that allows voters to score candidates from 0 to 5. Ultimately, STAR Voting elects candidates who better represent the whole of the electorate. We are building a site that lets everyone from individuals to organizations use STAR Voting to host simple polls or run secure elections.
