Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.6% of votes; the other 4 candidates 9.3% between them.

    (24,815 + 16,277) ÷ 46,884 = 87.6% · 4,358 ÷ 46,884 = 9.3%

  2. Turnout of 49.2% was 3.4 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    49.2 − 45.8 = +3.4

  3. The margin widened from 8.7 pp in 1977 to 18.2 pp.

    18.2 − 8.7 = +9.5 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1977.
