Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.5% of votes; the other 7 candidates 7.6% between them.

    (31,794 + 19,811) ÷ 56,428 = 91.5% · 4,295 ÷ 56,428 = 7.6%

  2. Turnout of 54.4% was 4.4 pp above the state's median seat (50.0%).

    54.4 − 50.0 = +4.4

  3. The margin widened from 6.2 pp in 1993 to 21.2 pp.

    21.2 − 6.2 = +15.0 pp
