[OpenID board] International Liaison board vote

Right now the board election tool that members use does not show a  
running tally which is correct behavior.  The tool for the board to  
vote does show a running tally and who voted for what which I also  
think is correct behavior.  This supports what DeWitt said about  
matching phone votes.
