Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 5,498 votes, 1.2× the 4,453-vote margin.

    5,498 ÷ 4,453 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 86.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 11.4% between them.

    (28,081 + 23,628) ÷ 60,117 = 86.0% · 6,826 ÷ 60,117 = 11.4%

  3. Turnout of 61.5% was 17.2 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    61.5 − 78.7 = −17.2

  4. The margin widened from 4.3 pp in 1979 to 7.4 pp.

    7.4 − 4.3 = +3.1 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1979.
