Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 66.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 33.1% between them.

    (16,194 + 6,018) ÷ 33,218 = 66.9% · 11,006 ÷ 33,218 = 33.1%

  2. Turnout of 35.9% was 3.3 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    35.9 − 39.2 = −3.3

  3. The margin widened from 9.3 pp in 1967 to 30.6 pp.

    30.6 − 9.3 = +21.3 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1967.
