Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.1% of votes; the other 12 candidates 4.1% between them.

    (40,094 + 17,124) ÷ 60,192 = 95.1% · 2,483 ÷ 60,192 = 4.1%

  2. Turnout of 48.4% was 1.6 pp below the state's median seat (50.0%).

    48.4 − 50.0 = −1.6

  3. The margin widened from 5.2 pp in 1993 to 38.2 pp.

    38.2 − 5.2 = +33.0 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1993.
