Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJD polled 21,757 votes, 16× the 1,345-vote margin.

    21,757 ÷ 1,345 = 16.2

  2. The top two polled 59.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 40.7% between them.

    (24,761 + 23,416) ÷ 81,196 = 59.3% · 33,039 ÷ 81,196 = 40.7%

  3. Turnout of 53.6% was 13.4 pp below the state's median seat (67.0%).

    53.6 − 67.0 = −13.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.9 pp in 2000 to 1.7 pp.

    1.7 − 16.9 = −15.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJD in 2000, IND in 2004.
