Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.0% of votes; the other 8 candidates 4.0% between them.

    (21,318 + 19,790) ÷ 42,808 = 96.0% · 1,700 ÷ 42,808 = 4.0%

  2. Turnout of 43.9% was 6.1 pp below the state's median seat (50.0%).

    43.9 − 50.0 = −6.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 34.0 pp in 1993 to 3.6 pp.

    3.6 − 34.0 = −30.4 pp
