Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 98.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 1.9% between them.

    (28,275 + 23,395) ÷ 52,663 = 98.1% · 993 ÷ 52,663 = 1.9%

  2. Turnout of 75.6% was 3.2 pp below the state's median seat (78.8%).

    75.6 − 78.8 = −3.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 49.5 pp in 2012 to 9.3 pp.

    9.3 − 49.5 = −40.2 pp
