Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 12,129 votes, 87× the 140-vote margin.

    12,129 ÷ 140 = 86.6

  2. The top two polled 93.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 3.4% between them.

    (2,73,352 + 2,73,212) ÷ 5,87,157 = 93.1% · 20,212 ÷ 5,87,157 = 3.4%

  3. Turnout of 64.1% was 4.1 pp below the state's median seat (68.2%).

    64.1 − 68.2 = −4.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.4 pp in 1980 to 0.0 pp.

    0.0 − 13.4 = −13.4 pp
