YOU JUST NEED QUESTION #8 FROM THE STARTER CODE PROVIDED ABOVE.

Question 8 (4 points) Purpose: To practice writing data to a file Degree of Difficulty: Moderate to Tricky. File I/O can be frustrating Task: Write a function called write election_results that takes two arguments - a string representing the name of a file to be written, and the district database (a dictionary with all the electoral district information in it). Your function should open the named file for writing. and then write the district results, one per line as in the following example Arm River, 6187,SK,Greg Brkich Athabasca,1756, NDP, Buckley Belanger Batoche,4471,SK,Delbert Kirsch Details: You are creating a tabular file with the following columns: district name, winning party vote count, winning party name and winning candidate. You might wish to review Chapter 12 (pp.98-99) from the text book for an example of creating a tabular file. When the data has been written, be sure to close the file! Be very careful not to write to a file that contains important information: writing to a file that already exists will destroy the data that was there Hint: To build this function, it is probably a good idea to ignore writing to a file until you know the data has the correct format. To do this, simply use print instead of the write method. When the data has the right format, then figure out opening the file, writing to it, and then closing it. Testing: Before going on, you want to be sure that your function works properly. The starter file has the testing code, but it will be initially part of a comment. Uncomment the testing for this question while you are working on it and comment it out when you are finished
