Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 6,151 votes, 1.1× the 5,639-vote margin.

    6,151 ÷ 5,639 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 86.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 13.9% between them.

    (42,934 + 37,295) ÷ 93,137 = 86.1% · 12,901 ÷ 93,137 = 13.9%

  3. Turnout of 52.1% was 8.7 pp below the state's median seat (60.8%).

    52.1 − 60.8 = −8.7

  4. The margin widened from 4.1 pp in 2002 to 6.1 pp.

    6.1 − 4.1 = +2.0 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 2002.
