Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 25,492 votes, 5.1× the 5,030-vote margin.

    25,492 ÷ 5,030 = 5.1

  2. The top two polled 68.7% of votes; the other 9 candidates 31.3% between them.

    (32,406 + 27,376) ÷ 87,077 = 68.7% · 27,295 ÷ 87,077 = 31.3%

  3. Turnout of 56.0% was 2.2 pp below the state's median seat (58.2%).

    56.0 − 58.2 = −2.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.7 pp in 2003 to 5.8 pp.

    5.8 − 16.7 = −10.9 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 2003.
