For this problem, I will assume that a majority of votes is sufficient to win.

step 1

Adds the percentages

32.9%+25.9%+20.0%+6.6%=85.4%

Divide by 2

85.4%/2=42.7%

so

If Raphael Warnock has a percentage greater than 42.7%

then

win the seat

The original percentage of Raphael Warnock is 32.9%

Find out the difference

42.7%-32.9%=9.8%

Applying proportion

Find out how many voters represent 9.8%

we know that

324,118 ------> 6.6%

so

324,118/6.6=x/9.8

solve for x

x=481,266 voters

therefore

the number of voters must be greater than 481,266 to win the seat
