Copying a vote file and replacing one or more variables.

The command line syntax to copy and modify a vote file for <PRECINCT> is:

  bin/PrecinctManager.py <PRECINCT> --copy <ALIAS> -T <FILE_TAG> [-n] [-a -b -A ALIAS*]
This will copy the vote file pointed to by ALIAS into MOOT under the name <ID>_<PRECINCT>_<FILE_TAG>.xml, where <ID> is serial number supplied by MOOT to insure unique file names. The -a, -b and -A options allow the user to also set aliases during this operation. If the -n option is set the file will not actually be copied, but the values printed instead.
