Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.8% of votes; the other 2 candidates 6.2% between them.

    (21,301 + 15,455) ÷ 39,202 = 93.8% · 2,446 ÷ 39,202 = 6.2%

  2. Turnout of 47.0% was 1.5 pp below the state's median seat (48.5%).

    47.0 − 48.5 = −1.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 36.6 pp in 1971 to 14.9 pp.

    14.9 − 36.6 = −21.7 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1971.
