Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 76.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 17.5% between them.

    (33,287 + 21,424) ÷ 71,828 = 76.2% · 12,575 ÷ 71,828 = 17.5%

  2. Turnout of 67.7% was 0.1 pp below the state's median seat (67.8%).

    67.7 − 67.8 = −0.1

  3. The margin widened from 2.7 pp in 1980 to 16.5 pp.

    16.5 − 2.7 = +13.8 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1980.
