Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed RLD polled 1,649 votes, 2.3× the 725-vote margin.

    1,649 ÷ 725 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 77.3% of votes; the other 2 candidates 22.7% between them.

    (5,557 + 4,832) ÷ 13,432 = 77.3% · 3,043 ÷ 13,432 = 22.7%

  3. Turnout of 97.4% was 5.4 pp above the state's median seat (92.0%).

    97.4 − 92.0 = +5.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 48.3 pp in 1998 to 5.4 pp.

    5.4 − 48.3 = −42.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1998, NPF in 2003.

    1998 INC · 2003 NPF
