Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 19,769 votes, 4.2× the 4,679-vote margin.

    19,769 ÷ 4,679 = 4.2

  2. The top two polled 68.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 31.5% between them.

    (33,768 + 29,089) ÷ 91,822 = 68.5% · 28,965 ÷ 91,822 = 31.5%

  3. Turnout of 80.1% was 3.5 pp above the state's median seat (76.6%).

    80.1 − 76.6 = +3.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.7 pp in 1994 to 5.1 pp.

    5.1 − 15.7 = −10.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: KCP in 1994, IND in 1997.

    1994 KCP · 1997 IND
