Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 72.8% of votes; the other 5 candidates 27.2% between them.

    (54,767 + 32,491) ÷ 1,19,791 = 72.8% · 32,533 ÷ 1,19,791 = 27.2%

  2. Turnout of 69.4% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (66.9%).

    69.4 − 66.9 = +2.5

  3. The margin widened from 12.8 pp in 2004 to 18.6 pp.

    18.6 − 12.8 = +5.8 pp
