Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed JCC(J) polled 27,903 votes, 1.1× the 25,077-vote margin.
27,903 ÷ 25,077 = 1.1
The top two polled 74.7% of votes; the other 14 candidates 25.3% between them.
(69,900 + 44,823) ÷ 1,53,657 = 74.7% · 38,934 ÷ 1,53,657 = 25.3%
Turnout of 76.1% was 1.4 pp below the state's median seat (77.5%).
76.1 − 77.5 = −1.4
