Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.2% of votes; the other 2 candidates 14.0% between them.

    (45,616 + 32,193) ÷ 92,374 = 84.2% · 12,975 ÷ 92,374 = 14.0%

  2. Turnout of 69.3% was 0.9 pp below the state's median seat (70.2%).

    69.3 − 70.2 = −0.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 45.7 pp in 1992 to 14.5 pp.

    14.5 − 45.7 = −31.2 pp
