Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 6,104 votes, 2.3× the 2,607-vote margin.

    6,104 ÷ 2,607 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 76.6% of votes; the other 4 candidates 23.4% between them.

    (18,240 + 15,633) ÷ 44,203 = 76.6% · 10,330 ÷ 44,203 = 23.4%

  3. Turnout of 59.6% was 20.4 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    59.6 − 39.2 = +20.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.9 pp in 1967 to 5.9 pp.

    5.9 − 13.9 = −8.0 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1967, UC in 1971.
