Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed MDMK polled 10,558 votes, 1.7× the 6,152-vote margin.
10,558 ÷ 6,152 = 1.7
The top two polled 86.4% of votes; the other 10 candidates 13.6% between them.
(49,307 + 43,155) ÷ 1,07,040 = 86.4% · 14,564 ÷ 1,07,040 = 13.6%
Turnout of 62.3% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (61.0%).
62.3 − 61.0 = +1.3
The margin widened from 1.9 pp in 1998 to 5.7 pp.
5.7 − 1.9 = +3.8 pp
The seat changed hands: DMK in 1998, AIADMK in 2001.
