[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 9.3% between them.

    (34,632 + 11,168) ÷ 51,461 = 89.0% · 4,789 ÷ 51,461 = 9.3%

  2. Turnout of 57.4% was 17.0 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    57.4 − 74.4 = −17.0

  3. The margin widened from 43.4 pp in 1980 to 45.6 pp.

    45.6 − 43.4 = +2.2 pp

  4. ML held the seat it won in 1980.
