Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed CPI polled 811 votes, 3.4× the 236-vote margin.
811 ÷ 236 = 3.4
The top two polled 88.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 11.3% between them.
(5,790 + 5,554) ÷ 12,785 = 88.7% · 1,441 ÷ 12,785 = 11.3%
Turnout of 51.1% was 2.3 pp above the state's median seat (48.8%).
51.1 − 48.8 = +2.3
