Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.1% of votes; the other 11 candidates 7.9% between them.

    (48,805 + 39,176) ÷ 95,527 = 92.1% · 7,546 ÷ 95,527 = 7.9%

  2. Turnout of 58.7% was 0.5 pp above the state's median seat (58.2%).

    58.7 − 58.2 = +0.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 46.5 pp in 2003 to 10.1 pp.

    10.1 − 46.5 = −36.4 pp
