Margin is the winner’s percentage minus the runner-up’s.
For 3- and 4-entrant matches it can look small even when the winner was never in danger,
because the vote splits more ways — the n column shows how many entrants a match had.
“Highest turnout” leans toward the 2007 Character Battle, which ran four entrants per poll.
