since half of all voters are female Newt got 13% of the female vote and 13% of the male vote.

That's not necessarily how it works. Newt could have got all female votes or all male votes or anywhere in between.

true but the question that started all this assumed “all things being equal” or half male voters and half female voters. I would bet dollars to donuts that Newt got more male votes then female votes :)
