Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.8% of votes; the other 5 candidates 14.2% between them.

    (24,347 + 19,206) ÷ 50,778 = 85.8% · 7,225 ÷ 50,778 = 14.2%

  2. Turnout of 71.2% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (73.9%).

    71.2 − 73.9 = −2.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 16.5 pp in 2007 to 10.1 pp.

    10.1 − 16.5 = −6.4 pp
