Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 4.0% between them.

    (65,256 + 57,156) ÷ 1,27,210 = 96.2% · 5,128 ÷ 1,27,210 = 4.0%

  2. Turnout of 73.1% was 5.2 pp above the state's median seat (67.9%).

    73.1 − 67.9 = +5.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 12.9 pp in 1999 to 6.4 pp.

    6.4 − 12.9 = −6.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: IND in 1999, INC in 2004.
