Data SourcesMichael Dubin, pp. 418-440. In these totals, I have combined the votes of the National Party and the Nonpartisan League. I kept the FLP separate, since it existed in several states. If anyone feels that the FLP and the National totals should be combined, feel free to do so. The total would be 434,412.
Description In the election of 1920, the Republican Party swept all the Senate races outside of the South. They gained ten seats, winning 25 of the 32 races at stake. The new party breakdown was 59 Republicans and 37 Democrats. What is especially impressive about the GOP victory is that they defeated eight incumbents (seven Democrats and one affiliated with the National Party).
