Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed IND polled 4,837 votes, 8.3× the 584-vote margin.
4,837 ÷ 584 = 8.3
The top two polled 51.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 48.4% between them.
(6,783 + 6,199) ÷ 25,154 = 51.6% · 12,172 ÷ 25,154 = 48.4%
Turnout of 37.1% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (33.8%).
37.1 − 33.8 = +3.3
