Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 19,906 votes, 7.0× the 2,831-vote margin.

    19,906 ÷ 2,831 = 7.0

  2. The top two polled 74.0% of votes; the other 2 candidates 24.3% between them.

    (34,026 + 31,195) ÷ 88,158 = 74.0% · 21,387 ÷ 88,158 = 24.3%

  3. Turnout of 75.7% was 5.5 pp above the state's median seat (70.2%).

    75.7 − 70.2 = +5.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 27.5 pp in 1992 to 3.2 pp.

    3.2 − 27.5 = −24.3 pp

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