Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed IND polled 4,985 votes, 1.9× the 2,681-vote margin.
4,985 ÷ 2,681 = 1.9
The top two polled 72.7% of votes; the other 1 candidate 27.3% between them.
(7,965 + 5,284) ÷ 18,234 = 72.7% · 4,985 ÷ 18,234 = 27.3%
Turnout of 29.0% was 4.8 pp below the state's median seat (33.8%).
29.0 − 33.8 = −4.8
