Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 68.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 28.4% between them.

    (21,955 + 9,231) ÷ 45,695 = 68.2% · 12,983 ÷ 45,695 = 28.4%

  2. Turnout of 55.0% was 9.2 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    55.0 − 45.8 = +9.2

  3. The margin widened from 7.3 pp in 1977 to 27.8 pp.

    27.8 − 7.3 = +20.5 pp
