Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 18,278 votes, 1.2× the 15,629-vote margin.

    18,278 ÷ 15,629 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 80.9% of votes; the other 2 candidates 17.6% between them.

    (50,562 + 34,933) ÷ 1,05,674 = 80.9% · 18,628 ÷ 1,05,674 = 17.6%

  3. Turnout of 73.4% was 3.2 pp above the state's median seat (70.2%).

    73.4 − 70.2 = +3.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 37.2 pp in 1992 to 14.8 pp.

    14.8 − 37.2 = −22.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1992, IND in 1997.
