Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 29,898 votes, 1.1× the 27,901-vote margin.

    29,898 ÷ 27,901 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 68.5% of votes; the other 12 candidates 31.5% between them.

    (85,073 + 57,172) ÷ 2,07,808 = 68.5% · 65,563 ÷ 2,07,808 = 31.5%

  3. Turnout of 59.8% was 0.4 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).

    59.8 − 59.4 = +0.4

  4. The margin widened from 7.3 pp in 2007 to 13.4 pp.

    13.4 − 7.3 = +6.1 pp

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