Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 71.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 25.1% between them.

    (28,231 + 16,177) ÷ 61,897 = 71.7% · 15,553 ÷ 61,897 = 25.1%

  2. Turnout of 57.4% was 11.6 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    57.4 − 45.8 = +11.6

  3. The margin widened from 4.2 pp in 1977 to 19.5 pp.

    19.5 − 4.2 = +15.3 pp
