Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 10.1% between them.

    (27,508 + 20,668) ÷ 53,990 = 89.2% · 5,455 ÷ 53,990 = 10.1%

  2. Turnout of 76.0% was 1.1 pp above the state's median seat (74.9%).

    76.0 − 74.9 = +1.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 28.8 pp in 1998 to 12.7 pp.

    12.7 − 28.8 = −16.1 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1998.
