Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 9,728 votes, 29× the 339-vote margin.
9,728 ÷ 339 = 28.7
The top two polled 66.1% of votes; the other 13 candidates 33.9% between them.
(23,429 + 23,090) ÷ 70,345 = 66.1% · 23,826 ÷ 70,345 = 33.9%
Turnout of 31.1% was 24.7 pp below the state's median seat (55.8%).
31.1 − 55.8 = −24.7
