Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed IND polled 692 votes, 1.2× the 558-vote margin.
692 ÷ 558 = 1.2
The top two polled 89.2% of votes; the other 2 candidates 10.8% between them.
(3,557 + 2,999) ÷ 7,349 = 89.2% · 793 ÷ 7,349 = 10.8%
Turnout of 13.9% was 19.9 pp below the state's median seat (33.8%).
13.9 − 33.8 = −19.9
