Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 7.9% between them.

    (11,868 + 9,902) ÷ 23,627 = 92.1% · 1,857 ÷ 23,627 = 7.9%

  2. Turnout of 38.2% was 4.4 pp above the state's median seat (33.8%).

    38.2 − 33.8 = +4.4

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
