public class Network

extends java.lang.Thread

Component for handling messages from clients. This is in a separate thread because we need to allow the election server manager and client requests to run in parallel. All this class does is open a server socket and accept incoming connections from clients. When it gets a new connection, it forks a Worker thread to handle it, then resumes waiting.
