Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.1% of votes; the other 7 candidates 6.9% between them.

    (35,878 + 26,561) ÷ 67,066 = 93.1% · 4,627 ÷ 67,066 = 6.9%

  2. Turnout of 52.9% was 5.3 pp below the state's median seat (58.2%).

    52.9 − 58.2 = −5.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 21.4 pp in 2003 to 13.9 pp.

    13.9 − 21.4 = −7.5 pp
