Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 2,168 votes, 1.7× the 1,301-vote margin.

    2,168 ÷ 1,301 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 54.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 45.2% between them.

    (5,020 + 3,719) ÷ 15,953 = 54.8% · 7,214 ÷ 15,953 = 45.2%

  3. Turnout of 21.3% was 17.9 pp below the state's median seat (39.2%).

    21.3 − 39.2 = −17.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.9 pp in 1967 to 8.2 pp.

    8.2 − 18.9 = −10.7 pp

  5. SWA held the seat it won in 1967.
