[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 9,705 votes, 4.3× the 2,282-vote margin.

    9,705 ÷ 2,282 = 4.3

  2. The top two polled 62.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 35.0% between them.

    (13,507 + 11,225) ÷ 39,682 = 62.3% · 13,907 ÷ 39,682 = 35.0%

  3. Turnout of 50.6% was 8.8 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    50.6 − 41.8 = +8.8

  4. The margin widened from 0.2 pp in 1974 to 5.8 pp.

    5.8 − 0.2 = +5.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: IND in 1974, INC in 1977.
