Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 80.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 19.9% between them.

    (20,841 + 10,645) ÷ 39,311 = 80.1% · 7,825 ÷ 39,311 = 19.9%

  2. Turnout of 43.8% was 4.6 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    43.8 − 39.2 = +4.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 37.7 pp in 1967 to 25.9 pp.

    25.9 − 37.7 = −11.8 pp
