1932 United States House of Representatives elections
This round of elections was seen as a referendum on the once popular Republican business practices, which were eschewed for new, more liberal Democratic ideas.Since no reapportionment (and in nearly all states no redistricting) had occurred after the 1920 census, the district boundary changes from the previous election were quite substantial, representing twenty years of population movement from small towns to the more Democratic cities.Kentucky, reapportioned from 11 districts down to 9, elected all of its representatives on a statewide at-large ticket.Maine was redistricted from four seats down to three; of four Republican incumbents, only one was re-elected; one retired and two were defeated by Democratic challengers.Minnesota, reapportioned from 10 seats down to 9, elected all representatives on a statewide general ticket.New York, reapportioned from 43 to 45 seats, left its districts unchanged and elected the two new members at large.
