Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 5.1% between them.

    (27,219 + 14,357) ÷ 44,837 = 92.7% · 2,302 ÷ 44,837 = 5.1%

  2. Turnout of 43.3% was 12.6 pp below the state's median seat (55.9%).

    43.3 − 55.9 = −12.6

  3. The margin widened from 4.9 pp in 1980 to 28.7 pp.

    28.7 − 4.9 = +23.8 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1980.
