Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 7,839 votes, 1.7× the 4,510-vote margin.

    7,839 ÷ 4,510 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 90.9% of votes; the other 10 candidates 8.0% between them.

    (58,938 + 54,428) ÷ 1,24,672 = 90.9% · 10,029 ÷ 1,24,672 = 8.0%

  3. Turnout of 79.1% was 4.7 pp above the state's median seat (74.4%).

    79.1 − 74.4 = +4.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.5 pp in 1990 to 3.6 pp.

    3.6 − 16.5 = −12.9 pp

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