Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 98.4% of votes; the other 1 candidate 1.2% between them.

    (38,049 + 32,159) ÷ 71,349 = 98.4% · 840 ÷ 71,349 = 1.2%

  2. Turnout of 76.9% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (73.6%).

    76.9 − 73.6 = +3.3

  3. The margin widened from 2.9 pp in 1977 to 8.3 pp.

    8.3 − 2.9 = +5.4 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1977, INC(U) in 1980.
