Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed DMK polled 2,41,505 votes, 1.7× the 1,45,551-vote margin.
2,41,505 ÷ 1,45,551 = 1.7
The top two polled 66.1% of votes; the other 24 candidates 32.7% between them.
(4,06,694 + 2,61,143) ÷ 10,10,930 = 66.1% · 3,30,868 ÷ 10,10,930 = 32.7%
Turnout of 74.9% was 0.6 pp below the state's median seat (75.5%).
74.9 − 75.5 = −0.6
The margin widened from 2.1 pp in 2009 to 14.4 pp.
14.4 − 2.1 = +12.3 pp
