Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 22,536 votes, 30× the 740-vote margin.

    22,536 ÷ 740 = 30.5

  2. The top two polled 56.3% of votes; the other 21 candidates 43.7% between them.

    (44,823 + 44,083) ÷ 1,57,825 = 56.3% · 68,919 ÷ 1,57,825 = 43.7%

  3. Turnout of 56.0% was 3.4 pp below the state's median seat (59.4%).

    56.0 − 59.4 = −3.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 2.1 pp in 2007 to 0.5 pp.

    0.5 − 2.1 = −1.6 pp

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