Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 3,944 votes, 2.3× the 1,704-vote margin.
3,944 ÷ 1,704 = 2.3
The top two polled 68.3% of votes; the other 2 candidates 31.7% between them.
(6,981 + 5,277) ÷ 17,956 = 68.3% · 5,698 ÷ 17,956 = 31.7%
Turnout of 22.9% was 16.3 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).
22.9 − 39.2 = −16.3
