3. Create a series of charts showing where the winner accumulated the votes in their victory. In doing so, use charts that are designed to show the magnitude of the difference so your reader can quickly identify the winner and why they won. 16/

This approach will show your readers and viewers who won – not confuse them and leave them with the wrong impression. It may not stop conspiracists. But it will tell the story so the average American understands who won and how. 17/17
