This is the only congressional election in which there was no redistricting after a census. The Apportionment Act of 1911 remained in effect until the Reapportionment Act of 1929. The election was a victory for Harding's progressive opponents in the Republican Party, and helped lead to the Teapot Dome investigations and Robert M. La Follette's 1924 third party candidacy.Busch Andrew Horses in Midstream 1999 University of Pittsburgh Press 156–157 See also 1922 United States House of Representatives elections 1922 United States Senate elections 1922 United States gubernatorial elections References expanded 1922 Category:United States midterm elections Category:November 1922 in the United States
