[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 1,986 votes, 1.9× the 1,069-vote margin.

    1,986 ÷ 1,069 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 86.2% of votes; the other 2 candidates 13.8% between them.

    (10,484 + 9,415) ÷ 23,088 = 86.2% · 3,189 ÷ 23,088 = 13.8%

  3. Turnout of 33.9% was 0.1 pp above the state's median seat (33.8%).

    33.9 − 33.8 = +0.1

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
