Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 6,942 votes, 1.7× the 4,142-vote margin.

    6,942 ÷ 4,142 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 75.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 23.1% between them.

    (20,015 + 15,873) ÷ 47,863 = 75.0% · 11,043 ÷ 47,863 = 23.1%

  3. Turnout of 52.3% was 10.5 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    52.3 − 41.8 = +10.5

  4. The margin widened from 3.2 pp in 1974 to 8.7 pp.

    8.7 − 3.2 = +5.5 pp

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