Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 31,895 votes, 5.1× the 6,278-vote margin.
31,895 ÷ 6,278 = 5.1
The top two polled 72.6% of votes; the other 13 candidates 27.4% between them.
(68,154 + 61,876) ÷ 1,79,161 = 72.6% · 49,131 ÷ 1,79,161 = 27.4%
Turnout of 64.3% was 4.9 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).
