Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 13,797 votes, 7.2× the 1,927-vote margin.

    13,797 ÷ 1,927 = 7.2

  2. The top two polled 72.2% of votes; the other 11 candidates 24.1% between them.

    (26,676 + 24,749) ÷ 71,211 = 72.2% · 17,147 ÷ 71,211 = 24.1%

  3. Turnout of 60.4% was 7.4 pp below the state's median seat (67.8%).

    60.4 − 67.8 = −7.4

  4. The margin widened from 1.6 pp in 1980 to 2.7 pp.

    2.7 − 1.6 = +1.1 pp

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