Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed MGP polled 61,538 votes, 148× the 417-vote margin.

    61,538 ÷ 417 = 147.6

  2. The top two polled 55.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 43.1% between them.

    (68,224 + 67,807) ÷ 2,44,155 = 55.7% · 1,05,257 ÷ 2,44,155 = 43.1%

  3. Turnout of 61.8% was 0.5 pp above the state's median seat (61.3%).

    61.8 − 61.3 = +0.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.9 pp in 1996 to 0.2 pp.

    0.2 − 4.9 = −4.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: MGP in 1996, INC in 1998.
