Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 64.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 35.8% between them.

    (37,612 + 18,854) ÷ 87,946 = 64.2% · 31,480 ÷ 87,946 = 35.8%

  2. Turnout of 55.5% was 11.4 pp below the state's median seat (66.9%).

    55.5 − 66.9 = −11.4

  3. The margin widened from 4.8 pp in 2004 to 21.3 pp.

    21.3 − 4.8 = +16.5 pp
