Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 80.8% of votes; the other 7 candidates 19.2% between them.

    (23,341 + 14,312) ÷ 46,597 = 80.8% · 8,944 ÷ 46,597 = 19.2%

  2. Turnout of 72.6% was 1.3 pp below the state's median seat (73.9%).

    72.6 − 73.9 = −1.3

  3. The margin widened from 1.6 pp in 2007 to 19.4 pp.

    19.4 − 1.6 = +17.8 pp
