Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC(U) polled 2,848 votes, 1.2× the 2,400-vote margin.

    2,848 ÷ 2,400 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 91.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 5.9% between them.

    (28,151 + 25,751) ÷ 59,140 = 91.1% · 3,470 ÷ 59,140 = 5.9%

  3. Turnout of 55.5% was 9.7 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    55.5 − 45.8 = +9.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.1 pp in 1977 to 4.1 pp.

    4.1 − 8.1 = −4.0 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JNP in 1977, INC in 1980.
