Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Suggestion

The ElectionBuilder is a stateful factory to create an election. This should be migrated to electionguard_tools under helpers. The existing references to ElectionBuilder should be updated. Be sure to make sure to auto-lint to have the init's updated.

Location of ElectionBuilder https://github.com/microsoft/electionguard-python/blob/8aa589c9744bdf52e1e2659e2f83c255ffc65441/src/electionguard/election_builder.py#L13-L18

@pratik2315 The concern is the entire class needs to be relocated not just the comment (docstring).

You may have to alter the file paths for windows. We recommend running this in WSL2.
