Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD polled 31,756 votes, 13× the 2,516-vote margin.

    31,756 ÷ 2,516 = 12.6

  2. The top two polled 57.7% of votes; the other 8 candidates 40.6% between them.

    (38,303 + 35,787) ÷ 1,28,510 = 57.7% · 52,197 ÷ 1,28,510 = 40.6%

  3. Turnout of 79.7% was 5.3 pp above the state's median seat (74.4%).

    79.7 − 74.4 = +5.3

  4. The margin widened from 0.1 pp in 1990 to 2.0 pp.

    2.0 − 0.1 = +1.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: IND in 1990, INC in 1995.
