You do not need detailed knowledge of the US party system here. The first statement means that in the Governor’s race there were three serious candidates, so the Democratic candidate had to compete with two other major candidates. In the other races, there were only two major candidates: one Democrat and one Republican.

The only prerequisite is understanding that Democratic and Republican are two political parties and that if a race has a third major candidate, the votes can be divided among three candidates instead of two. That could explain why the Democratic percentages for Governor are generally lower than for the other offices.
