Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 2.7% between them.

    (39,552 + 26,771) ÷ 68,732 = 96.5% · 1,846 ÷ 68,732 = 2.7%

  2. Turnout of 67.4% was 11.5 pp above the state's median seat (55.9%).

    67.4 − 55.9 = +11.5

  3. The margin widened from 17.2 pp in 1980 to 18.6 pp.

    18.6 − 17.2 = +1.4 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1980, JNP in 1985.
