Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 6,427 votes, 6.8× the 949-vote margin.

    6,427 ÷ 949 = 6.8

  2. The top two polled 57.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 42.8% between them.

    (10,454 + 9,505) ÷ 34,863 = 57.2% · 14,904 ÷ 34,863 = 42.8%

  3. Turnout of 50.6% was 11.4 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    50.6 − 39.2 = +11.4

  4. The margin widened from 2.3 pp in 1967 to 2.7 pp.

    2.7 − 2.3 = +0.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JC in 1967, IND in 1971.
