Interacting with application

Different instances of the site in different browser windows will demonstrate syncronized state locally. The two character identifier corresponds to the first two character's of each user's unique socket ID. This code also applies to each individual voter.

Logic is built out such that a single voter can only submit a single vote, while also retaining the ability to change their vote. Each "vote" emits a socket event which updates the DOM if the logic flow determines it is necessary to do so.
