Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 4,923 votes, 1.7× the 2,954-vote margin.
4,923 ÷ 2,954 = 1.7
The top two polled 63.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 36.9% between them.
(10,910 + 7,956) ÷ 29,901 = 63.1% · 11,035 ÷ 29,901 = 36.9%
Turnout of 41.1% was 1.9 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).
41.1 − 39.2 = +1.9
