[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 7,434 votes, 7.7× the 968-vote margin.

    7,434 ÷ 968 = 7.7

  2. The top two polled 64.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 32.8% between them.

    (11,374 + 10,406) ÷ 33,689 = 64.7% · 11,042 ÷ 33,689 = 32.8%

  3. Turnout of 38.1% was 3.7 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    38.1 − 41.8 = −3.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.4 pp in 1974 to 2.9 pp.

    2.9 − 13.4 = −10.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1974, IND in 1977.
