Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 5,618 votes, 3.8× the 1,476-vote margin.

    5,618 ÷ 1,476 = 3.8

  2. The top two polled 76.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 23.3% between them.

    (12,716 + 11,240) ÷ 31,234 = 76.7% · 7,278 ÷ 31,234 = 23.3%

  3. Turnout of 42.5% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    42.5 − 39.2 = +3.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 48.2 pp in 1967 to 4.7 pp.

    4.7 − 48.2 = −43.5 pp

  5. JC held the seat it won in 1967.
