Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 8.6% between them.

    (25,616 + 14,275) ÷ 44,807 = 89.0% · 3,868 ÷ 44,807 = 8.6%

  2. Turnout of 45.9% was 0.1 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    45.9 − 45.8 = +0.1

  3. The margin widened from 1.4 pp in 1977 to 25.3 pp.

    25.3 − 1.4 = +23.9 pp
