[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 8,438 votes, 1.3× the 6,727-vote margin.

    8,438 ÷ 6,727 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 82.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 13.3% between them.

    (32,689 + 25,962) ÷ 71,104 = 82.5% · 9,422 ÷ 71,104 = 13.3%

  3. Turnout of 74.2% was 6.4 pp above the state's median seat (67.8%).

    74.2 − 67.8 = +6.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.9 pp in 1980 to 9.5 pp.

    9.5 − 15.9 = −6.4 pp

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