Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 3.2% between them.

    (31,586 + 17,617) ÷ 51,450 = 95.6% · 1,632 ÷ 51,450 = 3.2%

  2. Turnout of 56.5% was 14.7 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    56.5 − 41.8 = +14.7

  3. The margin widened from 7.7 pp in 1974 to 27.2 pp.

    27.2 − 7.7 = +19.5 pp
