Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 83.5% of votes; the other 8 candidates 16.5% between them.

    (46,031 + 31,381) ÷ 92,717 = 83.5% · 15,305 ÷ 92,717 = 16.5%

  2. Turnout of 68.9% was 5.9 pp below the state's median seat (74.8%).

    68.9 − 74.8 = −5.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 18.1 pp in 1984 to 15.8 pp.

    15.8 − 18.1 = −2.3 pp
