This election began the transition of California from a solidly Republican state to a swing state, which it would be for the next 60 years. California gained nine seats as a result of the 1930 census; it would have been six if the House seats were reapportioned in 1920 since California would have had 14 seats as a result of the 1920 census. Democrats won six of those seats while Republicans won three. Of California's existing seats, Democrats won four Republican-held seats. 2 Overview United States House of Representatives elections in California, 1932PartyVotesPercentageSeats+/– Republican 941,668 50.5% 9 -1 Democratic 849,270 45.6% 11 +10 Socialist 34,370 1.8% 0 0 Liberty 27,595 1.5% 0 0 Independent 11,120 0.6% 0 0 Prohibition 10,308 0.6% 0 0 Totals 1,864,023 100.0% 20 +9 Delegation composition Pre-election Seats  Republican-Held 10  Democratic-Held 1 Post-election Seats  Democratic-Held 11  Republican-Held 9 Results Final results from the Clerk of the House of Representatives: District 1 • District 2 • District 3 • District 4 • District 5 • District 6 • District 7 • District 8 • District 9 • District 10 • District 11 • District 12 • District 13 • District 14District 15 • District 16 • District 17 • District 18 • District 19 • District 20__NOTOC__ District 1 California's 1st congressional district election, 1932 Democratic Party (United States) Clarence F.
