Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJS polled 74,766 votes, 2.4× the 30,930-vote margin.

    74,766 ÷ 30,930 = 2.4

  2. The top two polled 61.0% of votes; the other 7 candidates 39.0% between them.

    (1,19,333 + 88,403) ÷ 3,40,491 = 61.0% · 1,32,755 ÷ 3,40,491 = 39.0%

  3. Turnout of 54.3% was 5.1 pp above the state's median seat (49.2%).

    54.3 − 49.2 = +5.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.5 pp in 1967 to 9.1 pp.

    9.1 − 18.5 = −9.4 pp

  5. CPI held the seat it won in 1967.
