Ballots.appendBallot doesn't append withdrawn ballots

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Looks to me like the code for appendBallots in ballots.py doesn't do
anything with the withdrawn ballots from the appended file.

Could you please explain more as to what the problem is?  

There isn't a concept of withdrawn ballots -- only withdrawn candidates.  I 
don't
think appendBallots should do anything with respect to withdrawn candidates but 
let
me know if you think otherwise.  AppendBallots should probably check to make 
sure
that both files specify the same list of withdrawn candidates though before 
allowing
the ballots to be appended.

Sorry for the confusion---I meant withdrawn candidates.  I had thought maybe the
withdrawn candidates should be concatenated, but checking for the same list is 
fine.
