1. int compare(Vote o1, Vote o2)

Fill missing statements in the anonymous class defined in the who2vote Comparator object statement. The comparator object is to help compare two votes by whom to vote.

Reminder:Votes will be sorted by the information of whom to vote (not case-sensitive). If two votes are for the same candidate, these two votes should be sorted based on the voting state; if two votes came from the same state, these two votes should be sorted based on vote registration ID.

To view a completed example refer to this method implementation: public static Comparator STATE = new Comparator() {...}

Note: Write in plain words how this method works. Feel free to use pseudocode in addition to or throughout your explanation. Explanations should not be entirely pseudocode, but will likely be a mix of both everyday language and coding syntax.

2. int compareTo(Vote o);

Fill missing statements in the compareTo method, which compares two vote objects based on voting registration ID. Please use Comparators.ID.compare method which needs two arguments.

Note: Write in your submission sheet how this method works.
