Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.4% of votes; the other 3 candidates 12.6% between them.

    (16,880 + 8,131) ÷ 28,614 = 87.4% · 3,603 ÷ 28,614 = 12.6%

  2. Turnout of 42.6% was 3.4 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    42.6 − 39.2 = +3.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 34.5 pp in 1967 to 30.6 pp.

    30.6 − 34.5 = −3.9 pp
