Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 3.1% between them.

    (31,472 + 27,104) ÷ 60,804 = 96.3% · 1,900 ÷ 60,804 = 3.1%

  2. Turnout of 61.2% was 13.2 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    61.2 − 74.4 = −13.2

  3. The margin widened from 7.1 pp in 1980 to 7.2 pp.

    7.2 − 7.1 = +0.1 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1980.
