Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 3,556 votes, 5.1× the 698-vote margin.

    3,556 ÷ 698 = 5.1

  2. The top two polled 65.3% of votes; the other 6 candidates 34.7% between them.

    (11,178 + 10,480) ÷ 33,178 = 65.3% · 11,520 ÷ 33,178 = 34.7%

  3. Turnout of 42.8% was 1.9 pp above the state's median seat (40.9%).

    42.8 − 40.9 = +1.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 21.0 pp in 1961 to 2.1 pp.

    2.1 − 21.0 = −18.9 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1961.
