Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 8,418 votes, 8.1× the 1,041-vote margin.

    8,418 ÷ 1,041 = 8.1

  2. The top two polled 37.2% of votes; the other 9 candidates 59.4% between them.

    (10,564 + 9,523) ÷ 54,041 = 37.2% · 32,111 ÷ 54,041 = 59.4%

  3. Turnout of 64.3% was 37.7 pp above the state's median seat (26.6%).

    64.3 − 26.6 = +37.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 3.3 pp in 1978 to 1.9 pp.

    1.9 − 3.3 = −1.4 pp

  5. IND held the seat it won in 1978.
