Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.2% of votes; the other 2 candidates 20.8% between them.

    (69,508 + 40,560) ÷ 1,39,058 = 79.2% · 28,990 ÷ 1,39,058 = 20.8%

  2. Turnout of 68.9% matched the state's median seat.

    68.9 − 68.9 = 0.0

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
