Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed UC polled 5,389 votes, 2.0× the 2,738-vote margin.

    5,389 ÷ 2,738 = 2.0

  2. The top two polled 48.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 52.0% between them.

    (10,135 + 7,397) ÷ 36,527 = 48.0% · 18,995 ÷ 36,527 = 52.0%

  3. Turnout of 47.4% was 8.2 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    47.4 − 39.2 = +8.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 10.3 pp in 1967 to 7.5 pp.

    7.5 − 10.3 = −2.8 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1967.
