MY VISION PLEASE I welcome comments on the discussion page[edit]

My vision is to make one template versatile enough that allows us to have all of the election cycles collapsed except the last cycle which would be opened on a individuals page and then with one code line change it could be collapsed, therefore updating the next election cycle would be easier. Also with each vote tally in a separate collapsible box template, the header can contain the election data and district # and it would be easy to stack them for the year results page (all open of course). An ease of readability is necessary. I would also like to have the choice of color in the header box.
