Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INLD polled 20,915 votes, 5.1× the 4,116-vote margin.

    20,915 ÷ 4,116 = 5.1

  2. The top two polled 58.5% of votes; the other 9 candidates 41.6% between them.

    (33,057 + 28,941) ÷ 1,06,058 = 58.5% · 44,130 ÷ 1,06,058 = 41.6%

  3. Turnout of 63.9% was 9.9 pp below the state's median seat (73.8%).

    63.9 − 73.8 = −9.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.1 pp in 2000 to 3.9 pp.

    3.9 − 4.1 = −0.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: IND in 2000, INC in 2005.
