Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed KC polled 11,047 votes, 44× the 250-vote margin.

    11,047 ÷ 250 = 44.2

  2. The top two polled 56.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 43.3% between them.

    (13,749 + 13,499) ÷ 48,026 = 56.7% · 20,778 ÷ 48,026 = 43.3%

  3. Turnout of 78.6% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (76.1%).

    78.6 − 76.1 = +2.5

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
