Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 9,702 votes, 2.5× the 3,910-vote margin.

    9,702 ÷ 3,910 = 2.5

  2. The top two polled 65.8% of votes; the other 5 candidates 34.1% between them.

    (16,854 + 12,944) ÷ 45,298 = 65.8% · 15,452 ÷ 45,298 = 34.1%

  3. Turnout of 73.1% was 1.8 pp below the state's median seat (74.9%).

    73.1 − 74.9 = −1.8

  4. The margin widened from 2.6 pp in 1998 to 8.6 pp.

    8.6 − 2.6 = +6.0 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: HVC in 1998, LMHP in 2003.
