/**
 	This implements the voting booth function. Essentially all this requires is creating a client connection to
 	one peer, getting peers from that peer, and then broadcasting a transaction over the network. 

 	This creates a Transaction object based on the public key file and vote specified as command line arguments.
 	Assumptions:
 		The IP address and port of one peer is known.
 		Your own public key is known.
 		You know who you are voting for.
