[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 5,193 votes, 6.2× the 841-vote margin.

    5,193 ÷ 841 = 6.2

  2. The top two polled 83.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 13.6% between them.

    (47,171 + 46,330) ÷ 1,12,385 = 83.2% · 15,276 ÷ 1,12,385 = 13.6%

  3. Turnout of 73.1% was 1.3 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    73.1 − 74.4 = −1.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 2.9 pp in 1990 to 0.7 pp.

    0.7 − 2.9 = −2.2 pp

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