Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 32,951 votes, 8.2× the 4,029-vote margin.
32,951 ÷ 4,029 = 8.2
The top two polled 51.1% of votes; the other 14 candidates 48.9% between them.
(40,415 + 36,386) ÷ 1,50,270 = 51.1% · 73,449 ÷ 1,50,270 = 48.9%
Turnout of 61.6% was 5.8 pp above the state's median seat (55.8%).
61.6 − 55.8 = +5.8
