Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.6% of votes; the other 1 candidate 6.4% between them.

    (17,824 + 11,566) ÷ 31,408 = 93.6% · 2,018 ÷ 31,408 = 6.4%

  2. Turnout of 43.0% was 17.0 pp below the state's median seat (60.0%).

    43.0 − 60.0 = −17.0

  3. The margin widened from 6.9 pp in 1971 to 19.9 pp.

    19.9 − 6.9 = +13.0 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1971.
