Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 10,376 votes, 7.1× the 1,457-vote margin.

    10,376 ÷ 1,457 = 7.1

  2. The top two polled 62.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 30.4% between them.

    (23,511 + 22,054) ÷ 72,998 = 62.4% · 22,155 ÷ 72,998 = 30.4%

  3. Turnout of 72.8% was 6.9 pp below the state's median seat (79.7%).

    72.8 − 79.7 = −6.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 19.3 pp in 1983 to 2.0 pp.

    2.0 − 19.3 = −17.3 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1983, IND in 1985.
