The margin of victory shall be calculated as follows based on the margin type.

• For percentage points: the vote percentage received by Michael Bennet minus the vote percentage received by the candidate/party/option that finishes immediately behind Michael Bennet if Michael Bennet wins, or the candidate/party that finishes first if Michael Bennet loses.
• For raw votes: the total votes received by Michael Bennet minus the total votes received by the candidate/party/option that finishes immediately behind Michael Bennet if Michael Bennet wins, or the candidate/party/option that finishes first if Michael Bennet loses.
• For electoral votes: the electoral votes received by Michael Bennet minus the electoral votes received by the candidate/party/option with the second-most electoral votes if Michael Bennet wins, or the electoral votes received by Michael Bennet minus the electoral votes received by the candidate/party/option with the most electoral votes if Michael Bennet does not.

Each margin range is inclusive of its lower bound and exclusive of its upper bound. No rounding shall be applied to the calculated margin. For example, for consecutive ranges of 5-6% and 6-7%, a margin of 5.99999% resolves within the 5-6% range, while a margin of exactly 6% resolves within the 6-7% range. If Michael Bennet runs under multiple parties or is listed multiple times, votes attributable to the same underlying natural Michael Bennet will be summed.

If Michael Bennet wins the election, the margin will be positive. If Michael Bennet loses the election, the margin will be negative. If Michael Bennet ties for first place, the margin shall be 0. For uncontested races where Michael Bennet is the only candidate, the margin shall be 100 percentage points or the total number of votes cast (for raw votes).
