Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 18,014 votes, 3.9× the 4,621-vote margin.

    18,014 ÷ 4,621 = 3.9

  2. The top two polled 79.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 20.6% between them.

    (50,009 + 45,388) ÷ 1,20,146 = 79.4% · 24,749 ÷ 1,20,146 = 20.6%

  3. Turnout of 77.1% was 2.6 pp below the state's median seat (79.7%).

    77.1 − 79.7 = −2.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.2 pp in 2007 to 3.8 pp.

    3.8 − 8.2 = −4.4 pp

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