Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJS polled 5,861 votes, 1.1× the 5,237-vote margin.

    5,861 ÷ 5,237 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 72.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 27.4% between them.

    (12,126 + 6,889) ÷ 26,190 = 72.6% · 7,175 ÷ 26,190 = 27.4%

  3. Turnout of 40.1% was 12.6 pp below the state's median seat (52.7%).

    40.1 − 52.7 = −12.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 36.2 pp in 1967 to 20.0 pp.

    20.0 − 36.2 = −16.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1967, IND in 1972.

    1967 INC · 1972 IND
