Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJS polled 46,564 votes, 9.0× the 5,198-vote margin.

    46,564 ÷ 5,198 = 9.0

  2. The top two polled 54.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 45.3% between them.

    (66,748 + 61,550) ÷ 2,34,730 = 54.7% · 1,06,432 ÷ 2,34,730 = 45.3%

  3. Turnout of 46.8% matched the state's median seat.

    46.8 − 46.8 = 0.0

  4. The margin widened from 1.5 pp in 1967 to 2.2 pp.

    2.2 − 1.5 = +0.7 pp

  5. CPI held the seat it won in 1967.
