Right now, the bot only checks elections for changes every scrapeIntervalMins minutes (default: 5).
This means when an election ends, the bot could take an additional 5 minutes to announce the winners.
This should be automated to rescrape 30 seconds (or a period allowing for tallying of votes) following the end of the election since SO has automated the elections.

yeah, that's a bit on the high end - I see your PR already addresses that, nice! Do we have any way to know if the election ended live, btw? I assume we don't, but maybe worth looking into since SE is going the automation route with elections.
