Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed PPP polled 7,621 votes, 47× the 162-vote margin.

    7,621 ÷ 162 = 47.0

  2. The top two polled 90.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 9.3% between them.

    (61,830 + 61,668) ÷ 1,36,196 = 90.7% · 12,698 ÷ 1,36,196 = 9.3%

  3. Turnout of 84.9% was 5.2 pp above the state's median seat (79.7%).

    84.9 − 79.7 = +5.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.2 pp in 2007 to 0.1 pp.

    0.1 − 4.2 = −4.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 2007, SAD in 2012.

    2007 INC · 2012 SAD
