Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 12,867 votes, 3.3× the 3,939-vote margin.

    12,867 ÷ 3,939 = 3.3

  2. The top two polled 69.2% of votes; the other 7 candidates 27.9% between them.

    (38,304 + 34,365) ÷ 1,04,972 = 69.2% · 29,305 ÷ 1,04,972 = 27.9%

  3. Turnout of 77.9% was 3.5 pp above the state's median seat (74.4%).

    77.9 − 74.4 = +3.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 49.4 pp in 1990 to 3.8 pp.

    3.8 − 49.4 = −45.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JD in 1990, INC in 1995.

    1990 JD · 1995 INC
