Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.1% of votes; the other 6 candidates 8.1% between them.

    (41,524 + 30,255) ÷ 78,773 = 91.1% · 6,417 ÷ 78,773 = 8.1%

  2. Turnout of 74.8% was 5.8 pp below the state's median seat (80.6%).

    74.8 − 80.6 = −5.8

  3. The margin widened from 13.3 pp in 1982 to 14.3 pp.

    14.3 − 13.3 = +1.0 pp

  4. CPI held the seat it won in 1982.
