Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 4,478 votes, 2.9× the 1,553-vote margin.

    4,478 ÷ 1,553 = 2.9

  2. The top two polled 90.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 9.9% between them.

    (25,459 + 23,906) ÷ 54,786 = 90.1% · 5,421 ÷ 54,786 = 9.9%

  3. Turnout of 68.4% matched the state's median seat.

    68.4 − 68.4 = 0.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 35.6 pp in 1969 to 2.8 pp.

    2.8 − 35.6 = −32.8 pp

  5. SAD held the seat it won in 1969.
