curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "candidate": "Jill Stein", "election": "2016 Presidential Election" }' \
  "http://localhost:8099/voter/votes"

wget

wget --method POST \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --body-data '{ "candidate": "Jill Stein", "election": "2016 Presidential Election" }' \
  --no-verbose \
  --output-document - http://localhost:8099/voter/votes
