Margin = last winner minus first loser. The official percentage divides by all ballots cast in the contest's area, including people who skipped the contest (votes + undervotes + overvotes, divided by seats). The county results site divides by candidate votes only, so its percentage is usually larger. In vote-for-2 or vote-for-3 contests it can be smaller.
