His party, the Republican Party, lost a net of 12 seats to the Democratic Party, which thereby increased its majority in the House. Pursuant to the Uniform Congressional District Act, this was the first House election since the 1930 elections in which all 50 states used a single-member-district system to elect representatives instead of using at-large congressional districts. Overall results 401 incumbent members sought reelection, but 10 were defeated in primaries and 12 defeated in the general election for a total of 379 incumbents winning.Abramson Aldrich Rohde 1995 259 + ↓ 255 180 Democratic Republican Summary of the November 3, 1970, election results Parties Seats Popular Vote 1968 1970 Change Strength Vote % Change Democratic Party (US) Democratic Party 243 255 12 58.6% 29,080,212 53.6% 3.4% Republican Party (US) Republican Party 192 180 12 41.4% 24,352,657 44.9% 3.6% Conservative Party (US) Conservative Party —— —— —— —— 230,180 0.4% American Independent Party American Independent Party —— —— —— —— 132,992 0.2% 0.1% Independent Independent —— —— —— —— 122,430 0.2% 0.1% Liberal Party (New York) Liberal Party —— —— —— —— 67,696 0.1% Democratic Party (US) National Democratic Party —— —— —— —— 67,228 0.1% Constitution Party (US) Constitution Party —— —— —— —— 46,100 0.1% Peace and Freedom Party (US) Peace and Freedom Party —— —— —— —— 40,763 0.1% Socialist Workers Party (US) Socialist Workers Party —— —— —— —— 9,675 <0.1% Raza Unida Party Raza Unida Party —— —— —— —— 7,085 <0.1% A Public Party A Public Party —— —— —— —— 5,774 <0.1% Right to Life Party (New York) Right to Life Party —— —— —— —— 5,342 <0.1% Dodd Independent Party Dodd Independent Party —— —— —— —— 5,062 <0.1% Liberty Union Party Liberty Union Party —— —— —— —— 4,315 <0.1% Urban Tax Reform Party Urban Tax Reform Party —— —— —— —— 3,675 <0.1% American Party (1969) American Party —— —— —— —— 2,759 <0.1% Common Peoples' Party Common Peoples' Party —— —— —— —— 1,727 <0.1% Buffalo Party Buffalo Party —— —— —— —— 1,724 <0.1% Iowa New Party Iowa New Party —— —— —— —— 1,262 <0.1% Socialist Workers Party (US) Socialist Labor Party —— —— —— —— 973 <0.1% For the People Party For the People Party —— —— —— —— 823 <0.1% The O'Hara Bill Party The O'Hara Bill Party —— —— —— —— 518 <0.1% Communist Party USA Communist Party —— —— —— —— 374 <0.1% Progressive Party (US) Progressive Labor Socialist Party —— —— —— —— 208 <0.1% Other parties (US) Others —— —— —— —— 67,331 0.1% 0.1% Total 435 435 0 100.0% 54,258,885 100.0% —— Source: Election Statistics – Office of the Clerk Popular vote #ddd 900px 710px Democratic Democratic Party (US) 53.60 Republican Republican Party (US) 44.88 Others Independent 1.52 House seats #ddd 900px 710px Democratic Democratic Party (US) 58.62 Republican Republican Party (US) 41.38 thumb|400px| House seats by party holding plurality in state#f00 80+ to 100% Republican#00f 80+ to 100% Democratic#f66 60+ to 80% Republican#09f 60+ to 80% Democratic#f99 50+ to 60% Republican#0ff 50+ to 60% Democratic Stripes: 50% eachthumb|400px| #f00 6+ Republican gain#00f 6+ Democratic gain#f66 3-5 Republican gain#09f 3-5 Democratic gain#f99 1-2 Republican gain#0ff 1-2 Democratic gain #ccc no net change left Special elections List of special elections to the United States House of Representatives |- !
