[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 17,262 votes, 1.8× the 9,689-vote margin.

    17,262 ÷ 9,689 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 75.8% of votes; the other 2 candidates 22.8% between them.

    (34,940 + 25,251) ÷ 79,456 = 75.8% · 18,085 ÷ 79,456 = 22.8%

  3. Turnout of 68.4% was 22.6 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    68.4 − 45.8 = +22.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 12.6 pp in 1977 to 12.2 pp.

    12.2 − 12.6 = −0.4 pp

  5. Damodar Rout also won in 1977.

    1977 winner name = 1980 winner name
