  • The 1980 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1980 which coincided with the election of Ronald Reagan as President, defeating Democratic incumbent President Jimmy Carter. Reagan's victory also allowed many Republican House candidates to secure elections. The Republicans gained a net of 35 seats from the Democratic Party. The Democrats nonetheless retained a significant majority, unlike the Senate elections, where Republicans gained control of the chamber. However, many Democratic congressmen from the south (known as "Boll weevils") frequently took conservative stances on issues, allowing Republicans to have a working ideological majority for some of President Reagan's proposals during his first two years in office. This election marked the first time since Reconstruction that Republicans won a sizable majority of Representatives from a Deep South state (South Carolina). It was also the first time that the new Libertarian Party received the third-largest share of the popular vote in both chambers of Congress. As of 2022, this is the last time that Republicans won a majority of seats in the Minnesota delegation. This is the earliest House election with a currently serving member, that being Chris Smith and Hal Rogers. (en)
  • Bei den Wahlen zum Repräsentantenhaus der Vereinigten Staaten 1980 wurden am 4. November 1980 die Abgeordneten des Repräsentantenhauses der Vereinigten Staaten gewählt. Die Wahlen waren Teil der allgemeinen Wahlen zum 97. Kongress der Vereinigten Staaten in jenem Jahr, bei denen auch ein Drittel der US-Senatoren gewählt wurden. Gleichzeitig fand auch die Präsidentschaftswahl des Jahres 1980 statt, die der Republikaner Ronald Reagan gewann. Die Zahl der zu wählenden Abgeordneten betrug 435. Die Sitzverteilung basierte auf der Volkszählung von 1970. Bei den Wahlen setzte sich der bereits zwei Jahre zuvor begonnene Aufwärtstrend der Republikaner fort. Diese gewannen mit Ronald Reagan die Präsidentschaftswahlen und die Mehrheit im Senat. Im Repräsentantenhaus gewannen sie auf Kosten der Demokraten 35 Sitze hinzu und kamen nun auf 192 Mandate. Trotz der Verluste konnten die Demokraten mit ihren verbleibenden 243 Mandaten ihre absolute Mehrheit behaupten. Bemerkenswert ist, dass es den Republikanern gelang in den klassischen Südstaaten zunehmend an Stimmen zu gewinnen. Erstmals seit der Zeit der Reconstruction erreichten sie die Mehrheit im Bundesstaat South Carolina. (de)
