name: Adding Diamond Storage to Auth & Election Storage
about: Implementing diamond storage on current elections & auth

Describe the purpose
The Current data state's implementation of Authentication.sol & ElectionStorage.sol uses the default storage ways for storing user data & the elections.


This standard way of storage is pointless as it breaks the purpose of diamond upgradability which works on shared storage.

Possible Implementation

We can use the official Diamond Storage which accesses a memory slot in the contract.

Additional context To implement this we access the data slots the same way LibDiamond.sol reads & allocates storage slots for functionToFacet selector in diamond. Below is an example implementation of how this works.

-> I was thinking of implemeting this storage contract only on Authentication and ElectionStorage.sol as these 2 Contracts cover the user and election data and the rest contracts are brought from the elections storage.
