Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 74.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 24.2% between them.

    (30,690 + 13,154) ÷ 59,194 = 74.1% · 14,317 ÷ 59,194 = 24.2%

  2. Turnout of 65.8% was 20.0 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    65.8 − 45.8 = +20.0

  3. The margin widened from 16.8 pp in 1977 to 29.6 pp.

    29.6 − 16.8 = +12.8 pp
