Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 12.8% between them.

    (54,293 + 41,688) ÷ 1,10,047 = 87.2% · 14,072 ÷ 1,10,047 = 12.8%

  2. Turnout of 69.7% was 2.7 pp above the state's median seat (67.0%).

    69.7 − 67.0 = +2.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 12.0 pp in 2000 to 11.5 pp.

    11.5 − 12.0 = −0.5 pp

  4. BJD held the seat it won in 2000.
