Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 10.3% between them.

    (27,869 + 16,967) ÷ 51,706 = 86.7% · 5,322 ÷ 51,706 = 10.3%

  2. Turnout of 55.6% was 9.8 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    55.6 − 45.8 = +9.8

  3. The margin widened from 3.7 pp in 1977 to 21.1 pp.

    21.1 − 3.7 = +17.4 pp
