Description
Overview
Previously we've been against having this API but it can great improve usability for editable ballots, and it's also expected behavior for the discord bot setting. As our emails get more reliable and voter ids become more secure the security risks are also mitigated.
Action Items
Create an API to receive a voter id and return the ballot
We may need to think of if this should be restricted for certain elections, but at minimum it should be available for elections with editable ballots, and for discord elections

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing API paths for voter IDs and ballot retrieval, then inspect how editable-ballot and Discord elections are represented. Done means an API accepts a voter ID and returns the ballot, with the supported election restrictions defined and verified.
