Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 400 votes, 6.1× the 66-vote margin.

    400 ÷ 66 = 6.1

  2. The top two polled 96.1% of votes; the other 6 candidates 3.9% between them.

    (17,534 + 17,468) ÷ 36,413 = 96.1% · 1,411 ÷ 36,413 = 3.9%

  3. Turnout of 59.4% was 2.8 pp above the state's median seat (56.6%).

    59.4 − 56.6 = +2.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 12.0 pp in 1967 to 0.2 pp.

    0.2 − 12.0 = −11.8 pp
