Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 2.9% between them.

    (24,029 + 22,988) ÷ 48,397 = 97.1% · 1,380 ÷ 48,397 = 2.9%

  2. Turnout of 70.5% was 3.4 pp below the state's median seat (73.9%).

    70.5 − 73.9 = −3.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 19.1 pp in 2007 to 2.2 pp.

    2.2 − 19.1 = −16.9 pp
