Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 71.1% of votes; the other 8 candidates 27.0% between them.

    (33,614 + 12,752) ÷ 65,217 = 71.1% · 17,577 ÷ 65,217 = 27.0%

  2. Turnout of 49.4% was 20.8 pp below the state's median seat (70.2%).

    49.4 − 70.2 = −20.8

  3. The margin widened from 20.5 pp in 1992 to 32.0 pp.

    32.0 − 20.5 = +11.5 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1992.
