Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 3.3% between them.

    (28,866 + 21,061) ÷ 54,491 = 91.6% · 1,778 ÷ 54,491 = 3.3%

  2. Turnout of 61.4% was 6.4 pp below the state's median seat (67.8%).

    61.4 − 67.8 = −6.4

  3. The margin widened from 8.9 pp in 1980 to 14.3 pp.

    14.3 − 8.9 = +5.4 pp

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