Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed IND polled 3,990 votes, 2.8× the 1,430-vote margin.
3,990 ÷ 1,430 = 2.8
The top two polled 72.0% of votes; the other 2 candidates 28.0% between them.
(6,284 + 4,854) ÷ 15,471 = 72.0% · 4,333 ÷ 15,471 = 28.0%
Turnout of 76.7% was 11.0 pp below the state's median seat (87.7%).
76.7 − 87.7 = −11.0
The margin widened from 7.5 pp in 2003 to 9.2 pp.
