Two days after the polls closed in Missouri Tuesday night, there still aren't any official winners in either the Democratic or Republican presidential primary. And, Politico reports, it's not because all of the votes haven't already been counted:

That’s because both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump lead their respective primaries by just 0.2 percentage point — within the 0.5 point threshold for a recount under Missouri election law."The margin of victory in the Missouri presidential primaries is less than one-half of one percent, which qualifies them for a recount in Missouri," said AP political editor David Scott in a statement provided to Politico. "Neither the Sanders nor Cruz campaigns have said if they plan to challenge the results, as is their right under Missouri law. As such, both races remain too close to call." [Politico]
