Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 13,493 votes, 3.8× the 3,572-vote margin.

    13,493 ÷ 3,572 = 3.8

  2. The top two polled 72.2% of votes; the other 1 candidate 23.6% between them.

    (22,383 + 18,811) ÷ 57,082 = 72.2% · 13,493 ÷ 57,082 = 23.6%

  3. Turnout of 67.4% was 0.4 pp below the state's median seat (67.8%).

    67.4 − 67.8 = −0.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.5 pp in 1980 to 6.3 pp.

    6.3 − 7.5 = −1.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI in 1980, SAD in 1985.
