Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 6,413 votes, 5.3× the 1,221-vote margin.

    6,413 ÷ 1,221 = 5.3

  2. The top two polled 51.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 48.8% between them.

    (7,709 + 6,488) ÷ 27,702 = 51.2% · 13,505 ÷ 27,702 = 48.8%

  3. Turnout of 43.0% was 9.2 pp above the state's median seat (33.8%).

    43.0 − 33.8 = +9.2

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
