Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 5,141 votes, 3.2× the 1,619-vote margin.

    5,141 ÷ 1,619 = 3.2

  2. The top two polled 92.3% of votes; the other 9 candidates 7.2% between them.

    (50,153 + 48,534) ÷ 1,06,892 = 92.3% · 7,667 ÷ 1,06,892 = 7.2%

  3. Turnout of 64.2% was 5.0 pp above the state's median seat (59.2%).

    64.2 − 59.2 = +5.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 1.6 pp in 1995 to 1.5 pp.

    1.5 − 1.6 = −0.1 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1995.
