Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 22,709 votes, 5.2× the 4,344-vote margin.
22,709 ÷ 4,344 = 5.2
The top two polled 63.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 36.3% between them.
(33,140 + 28,796) ÷ 97,175 = 63.7% · 35,239 ÷ 97,175 = 36.3%
Turnout of 24.4% was 12.9 pp below the state's median seat (37.4%).
24.4 − 37.4 = −12.9
