Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 65.0% of votes; the other 21 candidates 35.0% between them.

    (43,980 + 22,852) ÷ 1,02,748 = 65.0% · 35,916 ÷ 1,02,748 = 35.0%

  2. Turnout of 52.9% was 5.3 pp below the state's median seat (58.2%).

    52.9 − 58.2 = −5.3

  3. The margin widened from 17.1 pp in 2004 to 20.6 pp.

    20.6 − 17.1 = +3.5 pp
