Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed RGP polled 18,885 votes, 1.4× the 13,535-vote margin.

    18,885 ÷ 13,535 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 93.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 5.2% between them.

    (2,17,836 + 2,04,301) ÷ 4,50,520 = 93.7% · 23,546 ÷ 4,50,520 = 5.2%

  3. Turnout of 75.2% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (76.9%).

    75.2 − 76.9 = −1.7

  4. The margin widened from 2.3 pp in 2019 to 3.0 pp.

    3.0 − 2.3 = +0.7 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 2019.
