Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SADSS polled 19,235 votes, 6.1× the 3,131-vote margin.

    19,235 ÷ 3,131 = 6.1

  2. The top two polled 71.3% of votes; the other 6 candidates 28.1% between them.

    (35,659 + 32,528) ÷ 95,579 = 71.3% · 26,878 ÷ 95,579 = 28.1%

  3. Turnout of 72.4% was 5.0 pp above the state's median seat (67.4%).

    72.4 − 67.4 = +5.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.4 pp in 1997 to 3.3 pp.

    3.3 − 5.4 = −2.1 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1997.
