Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 5.3% between them.

    (29,075 + 19,324) ÷ 51,127 = 94.7% · 2,728 ÷ 51,127 = 5.3%

  2. Turnout of 76.4% was 1.1 pp above the state's median seat (75.3%).

    76.4 − 75.3 = +1.1

  3. The margin widened from 0.5 pp in 1965 to 19.1 pp.

    19.1 − 0.5 = +18.6 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CON in 1965, IND in 1967.
