Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 6,787 votes, 2.5× the 2,714-vote margin.

    6,787 ÷ 2,714 = 2.5

  2. The top two polled 71.9% of votes; the other 2 candidates 28.1% between them.

    (10,928 + 8,214) ÷ 26,613 = 71.9% · 7,471 ÷ 26,613 = 28.1%

  3. Turnout of 43.6% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (45.3%).

    43.6 − 45.3 = −1.7

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
