Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INLD polled 15,382 votes, 8.4× the 1,827-vote margin.

    15,382 ÷ 1,827 = 8.4

  2. The top two polled 53.1% of votes; the other 12 candidates 45.9% between them.

    (21,111 + 19,284) ÷ 76,112 = 53.1% · 34,944 ÷ 76,112 = 45.9%

  3. Turnout of 61.5% was 11.5 pp above the state's median seat (50.0%).

    61.5 − 50.0 = +11.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.5 pp in 1993 to 2.4 pp.

    2.4 − 9.5 = −7.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: IND in 1993, INC in 1998.
