Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD polled 24,906 votes, 5.1× the 4,873-vote margin.

    24,906 ÷ 4,873 = 5.1

  2. The top two polled 58.4% of votes; the other 7 candidates 39.3% between them.

    (32,553 + 27,680) ÷ 1,03,162 = 58.4% · 40,583 ÷ 1,03,162 = 39.3%

  3. Turnout of 77.9% was 3.5 pp above the state's median seat (74.4%).

    77.9 − 74.4 = +3.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 20.3 pp in 1990 to 4.7 pp.

    4.7 − 20.3 = −15.6 pp

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