Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 12,362 votes, 2.6× the 4,837-vote margin.

    12,362 ÷ 4,837 = 2.6

  2. The top two polled 79.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 20.5% between them.

    (30,467 + 25,630) ÷ 70,538 = 79.5% · 14,441 ÷ 70,538 = 20.5%

  3. Turnout of 57.4% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (58.2%).

    57.4 − 58.2 = −0.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.9 pp in 2003 to 6.9 pp.

    6.9 − 7.9 = −1.0 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 2003.
