Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 17,652 votes, 8.0× the 2,199-vote margin.

    17,652 ÷ 2,199 = 8.0

  2. The top two polled 57.2% of votes; the other 14 candidates 42.8% between them.

    (26,544 + 24,345) ÷ 88,919 = 57.2% · 38,030 ÷ 88,919 = 42.8%

  3. Turnout of 31.9% was 14.6 pp below the state's median seat (46.5%).

    31.9 − 46.5 = −14.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.0 pp in 2002 to 2.5 pp.

    2.5 − 18.0 = −15.5 pp

  5. SP held the seat it won in 2002.
