A Democratic America - A Multi Party System

[AdrianoChika]

1966 Elections – Part 1

​

In the midterms of 1966, all 435 seats of the House and 50 of the 150 seats of the Senate will be contested, in an election considered by the country as a referendum of President John Kennedy (Lib-MA), following his successful re-election in the runoff in 1964.

Despite tension and anticipation across the country with the results of this night of November 8, 1966, the vast majority of Senate and House competitive seats are expected to advance to a runoff on November 29.



Maine:

In Maine, the Republican Party was the biggest victor of the night, managing to re-elect Senator Margaret Chase Smith without the need for a runoff. In District 1, the party is considered the runoff favorite against the President's party.

In Massachusetts, while most Districts were resolved without the need for a runoff, with an easy re-election of incumbents from the state's two dominant parties, the 10th District, the state's longest-serving Congressman, went into a runoff.

In the Senate race, several candidates entered the race to defeat Kennedy's candidate in their own state, including underrepresented parties in Massachusetts getting significant votes. However, the runoff would be disputed between the two traditional parties of the state: the Republicans and the Liberals.

1966 Elections – Part 3

​

New York:

The results in New York could be divided into 3 major divisions: in New York City a Liberal Party domain, with small concentrations of the Republican Party; on Long Island and the counties immediately north of NYC a fierce contest between Republicans and Liberals; and in the rest of the Upstate, where results are divided into three parties, with regions dominated by the Conservative Party.

In the Senate, the division seen in the State was repeated in the 1st round, with the current incumbent, FDR Jr., advancing to the runoff with former Senator Kenneth Keating, who was defeated in the runoff by Class 1 of the Senate in 1964 by the brother of the President, Senator Bobby Kennedy.
