Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 17,091 votes, 1.1× the 15,827-vote margin.

    17,091 ÷ 15,827 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 58.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 40.1% between them.

    (38,424 + 22,597) ÷ 1,04,411 = 58.4% · 41,904 ÷ 1,04,411 = 40.1%

  3. Turnout of 70.9% was 3.5 pp above the state's median seat (67.4%).

    70.9 − 67.4 = +3.5

  4. The margin widened from 9.4 pp in 1997 to 15.2 pp.

    15.2 − 9.4 = +5.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SAD in 1997, INC in 2002.

    1997 SAD · 2002 INC
