Coding guide

This software enables a "Voting Ambassador" workflow for get-out-the-vote campaigns. A Vote Ambassador signs up with the hello-voter React front-end. The Vote Ambassador, once signed up, is provided a list of voters in their area (within some configurable number of meters from the Ambassador). The Vote Ambassador contacts these voters (called Vote Triplers) and encourages them to help 3 additional people vote (called simply Voters in UI, or "Triplees" in the code). Once the Vote Tripler responds "YES" to the system's SMS (this software assumes Twilio SMS integration), the Vote Ambassador will receive payment from the organization who has set up this software. Currently this software assumes payment via Stripe + Plaid, and some partner organizations do not have in-app payments.
