Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.3% of votes; the other 13 candidates 20.7% between them.

    (47,820 + 21,546) ÷ 87,499 = 79.3% · 18,133 ÷ 87,499 = 20.7%

  2. Turnout of 59.3% was 1.1 pp above the state's median seat (58.2%).

    59.3 − 58.2 = +1.1

  3. The margin widened from 16.2 pp in 2004 to 30.0 pp.

    30.0 − 16.2 = +13.8 pp
