Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 80.0% of votes; the other 5 candidates 15.5% between them.

    (33,749 + 6,550) ÷ 50,369 = 80.0% · 7,812 ÷ 50,369 = 15.5%

  2. Turnout of 72.6% was 4.8 pp above the state's median seat (67.8%).

    72.6 − 67.8 = +4.8

  3. The margin widened from 22.7 pp in 1980 to 54.0 pp.

    54.0 − 22.7 = +31.3 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1980.
