Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 1,886 votes, 1.9× the 977-vote margin.

    1,886 ÷ 977 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 72.2% of votes; the other 1 candidate 25.9% between them.

    (3,123 + 2,146) ÷ 7,294 = 72.2% · 1,886 ÷ 7,294 = 25.9%

  3. Turnout of 93.6% was 15.0 pp above the state's median seat (78.6%).

    93.6 − 78.6 = +15.0

  4. The margin widened from 0.1 pp in 1980 to 13.4 pp.

    13.4 − 0.1 = +13.3 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: IND in 1980, INC in 1982.
