Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.1% of votes; the other 7 candidates 15.9% between them.

    (29,642 + 14,079) ÷ 51,989 = 84.1% · 8,268 ÷ 51,989 = 15.9%

  2. Turnout of 40.6% was 5.1 pp below the state's median seat (45.7%).

    40.6 − 45.7 = −5.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 51.2 pp in 1980 to 29.9 pp.

    29.9 − 51.2 = −21.3 pp
