Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 2,38,887 votes, 1.1× the 2,13,048-vote margin.
2,38,887 ÷ 2,13,048 = 1.1
The top two polled 69.1% of votes; the other 19 candidates 29.8% between them.
(4,62,693 + 2,49,645) ÷ 10,30,826 = 69.1% · 3,06,883 ÷ 10,30,826 = 29.8%
Turnout of 80.2% was 4.7 pp above the state's median seat (75.5%).
80.2 − 75.5 = +4.7
The margin widened from 9.3 pp in 2009 to 20.7 pp.
20.7 − 9.3 = +11.4 pp
The seat changed hands: DMK in 2009, AIADMK in 2014.
