Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 5,494 votes, 13× the 415-vote margin.

    5,494 ÷ 415 = 13.2

  2. The top two polled 71.4% of votes; the other 4 candidates 28.6% between them.

    (14,550 + 14,135) ÷ 40,176 = 71.4% · 11,491 ÷ 40,176 = 28.6%

  3. Turnout of 63.6% was 10.9 pp above the state's median seat (52.7%).

    63.6 − 52.7 = +10.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.6 pp in 1967 to 1.0 pp.

    1.0 − 7.6 = −6.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJS in 1967, INC in 1972.
