Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 26,618 votes, 55× the 488-vote margin.
26,618 ÷ 488 = 54.5
The top two polled 52.5% of votes; the other 14 candidates 47.2% between them.
(31,488 + 31,000) ÷ 1,19,112 = 52.5% · 56,189 ÷ 1,19,112 = 47.2%
Turnout of 37.9% was 8.6 pp below the state's median seat (46.5%).
37.9 − 46.5 = −8.6
The margin narrowed from 4.2 pp in 2002 to 0.4 pp.
0.4 − 4.2 = −3.8 pp
