Extra credit assignment No. 1

The Missouri primary on Tuesday turned out to be a close race that ended with a too close to call declaration. The division of delegates will go down to the congressional districts. On a night with multiple states holding primaries, Missouri suddenly became the story for national news outlets.

We want you to critique how news outlets (within the state and/or nationally) are explaining the Missouri results. How does the web design help or hurt the explanation? What interactives do the best job explaining the situation? And how could they be improved?

We ask that you critique and compare the way two sites use design to tell the story. They can be national (Washington Post, New York Times, Vox, FiveThirtyEight, etc.) and/or state (St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Missourian, Kansas City Star, etc.) news outlets. The specific content you critique can include other states, but we'd like you to focus on the Missouri primary as much as possible.

For your critique, we'd like you to write a post on Medium (if you're comfortable) or in a private Gist on Github sharing your thoughts about how design explains the Missouri primary.
