Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 5.4% between them.

    (25,567 + 16,265) ÷ 44,197 = 94.6% · 2,365 ÷ 44,197 = 5.4%

  2. Turnout of 66.9% was 7.0 pp below the state's median seat (73.9%).

    66.9 − 73.9 = −7.0

  3. The margin widened from 0.3 pp in 2007 to 21.0 pp.

    21.0 − 0.3 = +20.7 pp
