Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 28,370 votes, 7.8× the 3,650-vote margin.

    28,370 ÷ 3,650 = 7.8

  2. The top two polled 63.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 36.2% between them.

    (43,099 + 39,449) ÷ 1,29,374 = 63.8% · 46,826 ÷ 1,29,374 = 36.2%

  3. Turnout of 79.1% was 5.6 pp above the state's median seat (73.5%).

    79.1 − 73.5 = +5.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 22.0 pp in 2014 to 2.8 pp.

    2.8 − 22.0 = −19.2 pp

  5. Mahidhar Rana also won in 2014.

    2014 winner name = 2019 winner name
