Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.5% of votes; the other 2 candidates 13.3% between them.

    (82,307 + 13,058) ÷ 1,15,575 = 82.5% · 15,395 ÷ 1,15,575 = 13.3%

  2. Turnout of 51.2% matched the state's median seat.

    51.2 − 51.2 = 0.0

  3. The margin widened from 18.9 pp in 1977 to 59.9 pp.

    59.9 − 18.9 = +41.0 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1977.
