Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 4.5% between them.

    (28,325 + 26,093) ÷ 56,988 = 95.5% · 2,570 ÷ 56,988 = 4.5%

  2. Turnout of 78.4% was 4.5 pp above the state's median seat (73.9%).

    78.4 − 73.9 = +4.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 33.5 pp in 2007 to 3.9 pp.

    3.9 − 33.5 = −29.6 pp
