Add ability to attach ballots/races to sub-cons #208

Open pld opened 5 years ago

Currently when you create a new ballot it is not visible in the system because ballots always need to be attached to a sub-con.

Some options:

allow editing of sub-cons so a sub-con can be attached to a new ballot
allow creation of new sub-cons, then attach those to ballots
merge the ballot and sub-con creation into a single step
allow ballots that are not attached to sub-cons but somehow show up (this last one requires a lot more though and time since the system architecture assumes all ballots have sub-cons)

Note that I don't know why these are separate, this is how it was defined in the original data model proposed by UNDP and we went with it.

@mrajayp can we go ahead and combine the ballots and sub-cons by removing the sub-cons?

Looking at the code a bit more, sub-cons do the work of grouping multiple ballots together, so that's a good reason to keep them.

It also looks like we'd want to solve the component to ballot issue before talking this, i.e. no longer hard-code the mapping from components to ballots.

It makes so do a decent refactor as we work in this issue, can we remove this from priority 1 to make time for that?
