Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 2,780 votes, 4.4× the 636-vote margin.

    2,780 ÷ 636 = 4.4

  2. The top two polled 46.5% of votes; the other 9 candidates 53.5% between them.

    (3,723 + 3,087) ÷ 14,633 = 46.5% · 7,823 ÷ 14,633 = 53.5%

  3. Turnout of 74.9% was 1.9 pp above the state's median seat (73.0%).

    74.9 − 73.0 = +1.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 34.4 pp in 1996 to 4.3 pp.

    4.3 − 34.4 = −30.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JD in 1996, INC in 2001.

    1996 JD · 2001 INC
