Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.0% of votes; the other 2 candidates 8.0% between them.

    (61,671 + 37,448) ÷ 1,07,737 = 92.0% · 8,618 ÷ 1,07,737 = 8.0%

  2. Turnout of 66.7% was 10.8 pp above the state's median seat (55.9%).

    66.7 − 55.9 = +10.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 45.5 pp in 1995 to 22.5 pp.

    22.5 − 45.5 = −23.0 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1995.
