Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 5.4% between them.

    (23,455 + 21,537) ÷ 47,544 = 94.6% · 2,552 ÷ 47,544 = 5.4%

  2. Turnout of 82.6% was 8.7 pp above the state's median seat (73.9%).

    82.6 − 73.9 = +8.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 11.0 pp in 2007 to 4.0 pp.

    4.0 − 11.0 = −7.0 pp
