Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.5% of votes; the other 8 candidates 5.2% between them.

    (36,010 + 21,132) ÷ 61,124 = 93.5% · 3,189 ÷ 61,124 = 5.2%

  2. Turnout of 55.2% was 5.2 pp above the state's median seat (50.0%).

    55.2 − 50.0 = +5.2

  3. The margin widened from 0.8 pp in 1993 to 24.3 pp.

    24.3 − 0.8 = +23.5 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1993.
