Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed APHLC polled 986 votes, 2.8× the 355-vote margin.

    986 ÷ 355 = 2.8

  2. The top two polled 51.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 43.0% between them.

    (1,716 + 1,361) ÷ 5,945 = 51.8% · 2,555 ÷ 5,945 = 43.0%

  3. Turnout of 66.8% was 6.5 pp below the state's median seat (73.3%).

    66.8 − 73.3 = −6.5

  4. The margin widened from 2.9 pp in 1978 to 6.0 pp.

    6.0 − 2.9 = +3.1 pp

  5. Pleander G. Momin, the 1978 winner, finished second in 1983.

    1978 winner name = 1983 runner-up name
