Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.9% of votes; the other 3 candidates 12.6% between them.

    (30,793 + 14,113) ÷ 51,705 = 86.9% · 6,495 ÷ 51,705 = 12.6%

  2. Turnout of 64.1% was 9.5 pp below the state's median seat (73.6%).

    64.1 − 73.6 = −9.5

  3. The margin widened from 1.9 pp in 1979 to 32.3 pp.

    32.3 − 1.9 = +30.4 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: MLO in 1979, ML in 1980.
