Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 14.9% between them.

    (41,737 + 22,169) ÷ 75,134 = 85.1% · 11,228 ÷ 75,134 = 14.9%

  2. Turnout of 65.4% was 13.5 pp above the state's median seat (51.9%).

    65.4 − 51.9 = +13.5

  3. The margin widened from 1.5 pp in 1969 to 26.0 pp.

    26.0 − 1.5 = +24.5 pp
