About: 1976 United States House of Representatives elections

An Entity of Type: societal event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 1976 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the United States House of Representatives that coincided with Jimmy Carter's election as president. Carter's narrow victory over Gerald Ford had limited coattails, and his Democratic Party gained a net of only one seat from the Republican Party in the House. The result was nevertheless disappointing to the Republicans, who were hoping to win back some of the seats they lost in the wake of the Watergate scandal two years earlier. This election was the last time any party had a veto-proof majority in the House.

  • The 1976 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the United States House of Representatives that coincided with Jimmy Carter's election as president. Carter's narrow victory over Gerald Ford had limited coattails, and his Democratic Party gained a net of only one seat from the Republican Party in the House. The result was nevertheless disappointing to the Republicans, who were hoping to win back some of the seats they lost in the wake of the Watergate scandal two years earlier. This election was the last time any party had a veto-proof majority in the House. As of 2022, this is the last congressional election in which Democrats won a House seat in Wyoming. (en)
  • Die Wahlen zum Repräsentantenhaus der Vereinigten Staaten 1976 fanden am 2. November 1976. Die Wahlen waren Teil der allgemeinen Wahlen zum 95. Kongress der Vereinigten Staaten in jenem Jahr, bei denen auch ein Drittel der US-Senatoren gewählt wurden. Gleichzeitig fand auch die Präsidentschaftswahl des Jahres 1976 statt, die der Demokrat Jimmy Carter gewann. Die Zahl der zu wählenden Abgeordneten betrug 435. Die Sitzverteilung basierte auf der Volkszählung von 1970. Die Wahlen ergaben keine wesentliche Änderung bei den Mehrheitsverhältnissen im Repräsentantenhaus. Die Demokraten gewannen einen Sitz hinzu und erreichten nun 292 Mandate. Das lag zwei Sitze über der Zweidrittelmehrheit. Diese wurde in den nachfolgenden Wahlen bis heute (2020) von keiner Partei mehr erreicht. Entsprechend verloren die Republikaner einen Sitz und konnten sich damit von ihren schweren Verlusten der Wahlen von 1974 nicht erholen. Das schlechte Wahlergebnis für die Republikaner lag immer noch an den Folgen der Watergate-Affäre und der Begnadigung des 1974 zurückgetretenen Präsidenten Richard Nixon durch dessen Nachfolger Gerald Ford, der ebenfalls am 2. November 1976 abgewählt wurde. (de)
