Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 3,314 votes, 1.8× the 1,817-vote margin.

    3,314 ÷ 1,817 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 70.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 29.9% between them.

    (5,683 + 3,866) ÷ 13,623 = 70.1% · 4,074 ÷ 13,623 = 29.9%

  3. Turnout of 46.7% was 2.1 pp below the state's median seat (48.8%).

    46.7 − 48.8 = −2.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 35.4 pp in 1967 to 13.3 pp.

    13.3 − 35.4 = −22.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJS in 1967, INC in 1972.

    1967 BJS · 1972 INC
