Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 4,318 votes, 1.9× the 2,251-vote margin.

    4,318 ÷ 2,251 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 69.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 31.0% between them.

    (9,371 + 7,120) ÷ 23,886 = 69.0% · 7,395 ÷ 23,886 = 31.0%

  3. Turnout of 41.8% was 8.0 pp above the state's median seat (33.8%).

    41.8 − 33.8 = +8.0

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
