Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 6,858 votes, 7.2× the 950-vote margin.
6,858 ÷ 950 = 7.2
The top two polled 80.9% of votes; the other 1 candidate 16.6% between them.
(17,217 + 16,267) ÷ 41,378 = 80.9% · 6,858 ÷ 41,378 = 16.6%
Turnout of 50.6% was 8.8 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).
50.6 − 41.8 = +8.8
The margin narrowed from 8.5 pp in 1974 to 2.3 pp.
2.3 − 8.5 = −6.2 pp
