Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 6,925 votes, 1.6× the 4,268-vote margin.

    6,925 ÷ 4,268 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 90.4% of votes; the other 3 candidates 9.6% between them.

    (60,029 + 55,761) ÷ 1,28,076 = 90.4% · 12,284 ÷ 1,28,076 = 9.6%

  3. Turnout of 76.9% was 0.4 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    76.9 − 77.3 = −0.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.8 pp in 1996 to 3.3 pp.

    3.3 − 7.8 = −4.5 pp

  5. IND held the seat it won in 1996.
