Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed UC polled 13,960 votes, 2.3× the 6,194-vote margin.

    13,960 ÷ 6,194 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 72.4% of votes; the other 2 candidates 27.6% between them.

    (22,655 + 16,461) ÷ 54,026 = 72.4% · 14,910 ÷ 54,026 = 27.6%

  3. Turnout of 62.6% was 14.1 pp above the state's median seat (48.5%).

    62.6 − 48.5 = +14.1

  4. The margin widened from 7.5 pp in 1971 to 11.5 pp.

    11.5 − 7.5 = +4.0 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1971.
