Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 9,674 votes, 6.3× the 1,539-vote margin.

    9,674 ÷ 1,539 = 6.3

  2. The top two polled 83.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 16.3% between them.

    (28,907 + 27,368) ÷ 67,246 = 83.7% · 10,971 ÷ 67,246 = 16.3%

  3. Turnout of 60.7% was 8.5 pp below the state's median seat (69.2%).

    60.7 − 69.2 = −8.5

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
