Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 33,931 votes, 2.6× the 13,147-vote margin.

    33,931 ÷ 13,147 = 2.6

  2. The top two polled 75.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 23.8% between them.

    (62,199 + 49,052) ÷ 1,47,192 = 75.6% · 35,100 ÷ 1,47,192 = 23.8%

  3. Turnout of 83.0% was 3.6 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    83.0 − 79.4 = +3.6

  4. INC held the seat it won in 2024.
