Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.5% of votes; the other 2 candidates 8.5% between them.

    (79,590 + 59,285) ÷ 1,51,783 = 91.5% · 12,943 ÷ 1,51,783 = 8.5%

  2. Turnout of 68.7% was 1.7 pp above the state's median seat (67.0%).

    68.7 − 67.0 = +1.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 34.9 pp in 2000 to 13.4 pp.

    13.4 − 34.9 = −21.5 pp

  4. BJD held the seat it won in 2000.
