Firefox 3 will be released very soon.

Anyway, let's actually talk about what can practically be done about it
for the current election.
As SPI is a volunteer organisation who's helping assisting us for free,
we certainly cannot ask them to paid for a certificate from a CA that's
more widely accepted. So unless the foundation decides it want to fund
such a purchase, there's not a lot that can be done.
I would like to note at this point that the main reason voting wasn't
working for the first few hours was because the [[cURL]] software on
certain GNU/Linux system (including SPI's) didn't like Wikimedia secure
site's certificate. Oh the joy...
