Follow up with users after submission

[rau]

For primaries, perhaps we could follow up with users of eAbsentee after 2 weeks to let them know to filll out their ballot.

Auto email two weeks later or seven days before election

Want to bump this -- following up 72 hours after submission to remind voters to check VA elections for ballot status is really important. This is something we've received lots of requests for, and would prevent concerns of people not receiving ballots since they would be able to correct the issue in time.

@sumanthratna I honestly think it may be easier to use a PythonAnywhere daily task rather than apscheduler.

Query all emails from 3 days ago from db, get the list, send out emails using yagmail. Am I missing anything? I feel like a PythonAnywhere daily task solves this issue easily.

Ahh yeah, that's a clever way of doing things. IMO a PythonAnywhere task that uses a DB query is a better way to deal with this than apscheduler.
