[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 1,507 votes, 1.4× the 1,053-vote margin.

    1,507 ÷ 1,053 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 76.3% of votes; the other 2 candidates 22.8% between them.

    (3,399 + 2,346) ÷ 7,531 = 76.3% · 1,716 ÷ 7,531 = 22.8%

  3. Turnout of 81.0% was 4.6 pp above the state's median seat (76.4%).

    81.0 − 76.4 = +4.6

  4. The margin widened from 7.3 pp in 1974 to 14.0 pp.

    14.0 − 7.3 = +6.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI in 1974, JNP in 1977.
