Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 72.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 28.0% between them.

    (12,917 + 7,714) ÷ 28,670 = 72.0% · 8,039 ÷ 28,670 = 28.0%

  2. Turnout of 64.4% was 6.0 pp above the state's median seat (58.4%).

    64.4 − 58.4 = +6.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 33.0 pp in 1967 to 18.2 pp.

    18.2 − 33.0 = −14.8 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1967.
