Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 61.4% of votes; the other 7 candidates 37.2% between them.

    (31,060 + 16,565) ÷ 77,599 = 61.4% · 28,843 ÷ 77,599 = 37.2%

  2. Turnout of 55.3% was 14.9 pp below the state's median seat (70.2%).

    55.3 − 70.2 = −14.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 43.3 pp in 1992 to 18.7 pp.

    18.7 − 43.3 = −24.6 pp
