Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 20.9% between them.

    (53,732 + 30,067) ÷ 1,05,918 = 79.1% · 22,119 ÷ 1,05,918 = 20.9%

  2. Turnout of 48.9% matched the state's median seat.

    48.9 − 48.9 = 0.0

  3. The margin widened from 11.8 pp in 2010 to 22.3 pp.

    22.3 − 11.8 = +10.5 pp
