Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 1,433 votes, 6.1× the 236-vote margin.

    1,433 ÷ 236 = 6.1

  2. The top two polled 63.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 36.0% between them.

    (1,794 + 1,558) ÷ 5,300 = 63.2% · 1,908 ÷ 5,300 = 36.0%

  3. Turnout of 90.4% was 3.7 pp above the state's median seat (86.7%).

    90.4 − 86.7 = +3.7

  4. The margin widened from 1.5 pp in 1974 to 4.5 pp.

    4.5 − 1.5 = +3.0 pp

  5. UDF held the seat it won in 1974.
