Spring Break Voting API
every vote, counted

The story

My friend group could not agree on a spring break destination, so I made everyone submit a ranked top three through an API instead. Java 21 and Spring Boot: register voters, add destinations, vote once per person (enforced), change your mind and resubmit, filter destinations by region. Runs on an EC2 box with in-memory storage for now. The entities are modeled so Postgres and JPA can drop in when it needs to persist.
