Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 4,628 votes, 1.2× the 3,931-vote margin.

    4,628 ÷ 3,931 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 62.0% of votes; the other 9 candidates 38.0% between them.

    (13,008 + 9,077) ÷ 35,597 = 62.0% · 13,512 ÷ 35,597 = 38.0%

  3. Turnout of 47.9% was 8.7 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    47.9 − 39.2 = +8.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.1 pp in 1967 to 11.0 pp.

    11.0 − 13.1 = −2.1 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1967.
