Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed IND polled 2,941 votes, 1.1× the 2,795-vote margin.
2,941 ÷ 2,795 = 1.1
The top two polled 81.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 18.3% between them.
(13,766 + 10,971) ÷ 30,276 = 81.7% · 5,539 ÷ 30,276 = 18.3%
Turnout of 49.3% was 15.5 pp above the state's median seat (33.8%).
49.3 − 33.8 = +15.5
