Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.9% of votes; the other 3 candidates 4.9% between them.

    (21,829 + 19,642) ÷ 43,701 = 94.9% · 2,154 ÷ 43,701 = 4.9%

  2. Turnout of 77.6% was 2.7 pp above the state's median seat (74.9%).

    77.6 − 74.9 = +2.7

  3. The seat changed hands: RJP in 2000, INC in 2003.
