Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 23,500 votes, 4.0× the 5,919-vote margin.
23,500 ÷ 5,919 = 4.0
The top two polled 51.7% of votes; the other 19 candidates 48.3% between them.
(55,460 + 49,541) ÷ 2,03,254 = 51.7% · 98,253 ÷ 2,03,254 = 48.3%
Turnout of 64.0% was 4.6 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).
64.0 − 59.4 = +4.6
