Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.5% of votes; the other 2 candidates 10.3% between them.

    (2,213 + 1,516) ÷ 4,213 = 88.5% · 433 ÷ 4,213 = 10.3%

  2. Turnout of 63.6% was 16.2 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    63.6 − 79.8 = −16.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 50.7 pp in 1980 to 16.5 pp.

    16.5 − 50.7 = −34.2 pp

  4. C. M. Achraff also won in 1980.
