Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.0% of votes; the other 1 candidate 10.2% between them.

    (13,191 + 3,767) ÷ 19,945 = 85.0% · 2,031 ÷ 19,945 = 10.2%

  2. Turnout of 22.4% was 23.4 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    22.4 − 45.8 = −23.4

  3. The margin widened from 31.3 pp in 1977 to 47.2 pp.

    47.2 − 31.3 = +15.9 pp
