Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 14,954 votes, 13× the 1,108-vote margin.

    14,954 ÷ 1,108 = 13.5

  2. The top two polled 64.0% of votes; the other 11 candidates 36.0% between them.

    (21,740 + 20,632) ÷ 66,224 = 64.0% · 23,852 ÷ 66,224 = 36.0%

  3. Turnout of 45.9% was 12.3 pp below the state's median seat (58.2%).

    45.9 − 58.2 = −12.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 27.8 pp in 2003 to 1.7 pp.

    1.7 − 27.8 = −26.1 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 2003.
