Description
Currently, the proposed way to host the configuration files for an election is to host them through the election server. This concerns the files:
initial-weights.csv
election-coordinator
election-parameters.json
election-manifest.json
candidates/
This makes the components which depend on the configuration files prone to errors due to downtime (for various reasons) of the election server.
Instead, it would make sense to host the files independently of the server, e.g. in amazon S3 or any other static file server.
