Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JC polled 1,946 votes, 1.6× the 1,186-vote margin.

    1,946 ÷ 1,186 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 88.3% of votes; the other 2 candidates 11.7% between them.

    (12,860 + 11,674) ÷ 27,799 = 88.3% · 3,265 ÷ 27,799 = 11.7%

  3. Turnout of 43.2% was 2.3 pp above the state's median seat (40.9%).

    43.2 − 40.9 = +2.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.8 pp in 1961 to 4.3 pp.

    4.3 − 8.8 = −4.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1961, CPI in 1967.

    1961 INC · 1967 CPI
