Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.6% of votes; the other 1 candidate 9.0% between them.

    (26,221 + 13,221) ÷ 45,003 = 87.6% · 4,030 ÷ 45,003 = 9.0%

  2. Turnout of 51.3% was 5.5 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    51.3 − 45.8 = +5.5

  3. The margin widened from 14.6 pp in 1977 to 28.9 pp.

    28.9 − 14.6 = +14.3 pp
