Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 1,539 votes, 8.1× the 190-vote margin.

    1,539 ÷ 190 = 8.1

  2. The top two polled 57.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 42.6% between them.

    (3,032 + 2,842) ÷ 10,225 = 57.4% · 4,351 ÷ 10,225 = 42.6%

  3. Turnout of 48.8% matched the state's median seat.

    48.8 − 48.8 = 0.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.3 pp in 1967 to 1.9 pp.

    1.9 − 8.3 = −6.4 pp
