Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.9% of votes; the other 2 candidates 1.6% between them.

    (33,991 + 23,107) ÷ 58,324 = 97.9% · 913 ÷ 58,324 = 1.6%

  2. Turnout of 70.4% was 3.2 pp below the state's median seat (73.6%).

    70.4 − 73.6 = −3.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 21.6 pp in 1977 to 18.7 pp.

    18.7 − 21.6 = −2.9 pp

  4. CPI held the seat it won in 1977.
