Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 65.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 34.9% between them.

    (7,750 + 2,688) ÷ 16,023 = 65.1% · 5,585 ÷ 16,023 = 34.9%

  2. Turnout of 15.7% was 23.5 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    15.7 − 39.2 = −23.5

  3. The margin widened from 23.8 pp in 1967 to 31.6 pp.

    31.6 − 23.8 = +7.8 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1967.
