Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 17,387 votes, 17× the 996-vote margin.

    17,387 ÷ 996 = 17.5

  2. The top two polled 72.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 27.9% between them.

    (35,099 + 34,103) ÷ 95,965 = 72.1% · 26,758 ÷ 95,965 = 27.9%

  3. Turnout of 76.3% was 8.9 pp above the state's median seat (67.4%).

    76.3 − 67.4 = +8.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.7 pp in 1997 to 1.0 pp.

    1.0 − 6.7 = −5.7 pp

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