Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 9.8% between them.

    (25,597 + 22,512) ÷ 53,325 = 90.2% · 5,216 ÷ 53,325 = 9.8%

  2. Turnout of 61.8% was 1.8 pp below the state's median seat (63.6%).

    61.8 − 63.6 = −1.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 49.3 pp in 2014 to 5.8 pp.

    5.8 − 49.3 = −43.5 pp
