Huh? All eligible voters who hadn't voted by the time I took a snapshot
of the voted list got the same email last year. In fact, a small number
of people accidentally got more than one I think because I didn't do a
very good job of making sure the script didn't time out and or keeping
track of exactly how far down the email list I got to.

Are you thinking of the year before (2007) when a candidate send out a
email to a selected number of users?
