Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.9% of votes; the other 7 candidates 5.1% between them.

    (26,722 + 24,518) ÷ 53,981 = 94.9% · 2,741 ÷ 53,981 = 5.1%

  2. Turnout of 70.3% was 3.6 pp below the state's median seat (73.9%).

    70.3 − 73.9 = −3.6

  3. The margin widened from 1.3 pp in 2007 to 4.1 pp.

    4.1 − 1.3 = +2.8 pp
