## What Jamie wrote

I mostly did the same as Malik for the election results. TV news has so much filler. I particularly liked the News+ Live Activity unit that updated quickly as election results came in.

The one issue I had with it is that it looked exactly like I was following a basketball or soccer game. I feel like we've brought sports thinking to politics too much — my team, your team, etc. Politics are not sports. But we are making our information around it look nearly identical to each other.
