Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 9.5% between them.

    (38,639 + 24,206) ÷ 72,891 = 86.2% · 6,931 ÷ 72,891 = 9.5%

  2. Turnout of 71.9% was 4.1 pp above the state's median seat (67.8%).

    71.9 − 67.8 = +4.1

  3. The margin widened from 2.3 pp in 1980 to 19.8 pp.

    19.8 − 2.3 = +17.5 pp

  4. SAD held the seat it won in 1980.
