Held on November 2, the 33 seats of Class 1 were contested in regular elections. They coincided with Democrat Jimmy Carter's presidential election and the United States Bicentennial celebration. Although almost half of the seats decided in this election changed parties, Carter's narrow victory did not provide coattails for the Democratic Party. Each party flipped seven Senate seats, although, one of the seats flipped by Democrats was previously held by a Conservative. This was the first election in which the Libertarian Party competed, running candidates in 9 of the 33 contested seats. this is the first and so far only time both party leaders retired from the Senate in the same election cycle since the creation of the positions. This is the last time Democrats or any party won a 60% supermajority via direct elections (although Democrats briefly held one in the autumn and winter of 2009).

In the Senate, Cannon was known as a moderate in the Democratic Party. He served as chairman of several committees, including the rules committee and the inaugural arrangements committee. Cannon was nearly defeated for re-election in 1964 by Republican Lieutenant Governor Paul Laxalt in one of the closest election in history. However, he became more popular over the next few years and won re-election in 1970 with nearly 58% of the vote. In 1976, he faced U.S. Representative David Towell, who served just one term in the U.S. House of Representatives before running for the U.S. Senate. Cannon won re-election with 63% of the vote, one of his best election performances of his career. He won every county in the state, except for Eureka County, which Towell won with just 51% of the vote.

Often, winning the Democratic primary was tantamount to winning the general election in the state. Despite West Virginia occasionally electing a Republican governor (Arch A. Moore Jr. and Cecil H. Underwood both served as governor) and voting for Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956, West Virginia has only elected Democratic Senators since 1958. Byrd had faced Republican opposition every term since he defeated Chapman Revercomb in 1958, but the Republicans chose not to mount a nominee in 1976.Our Campaigns - WV US Senate Race - Nov 02, 1976 Freshman Congressman Cleve Benedict would serve as the Republican nominee in 1982. 1976 United States Senate election in West Virginia Results Democratic Party (US) Robert Byrd (Incumbent) 566,359 100.00 Democratic Party (US) Wisconsin Wisconsin election Wisconsin 1913 Presidential no 1970 United States Senate election in Wisconsin 1970 1982 United States Senate election in Wisconsin 1982 x150px William Proxmire Democratic Party (United States) 1,396,970 72.20% x120px Stanley York Republican Party (United States) 521,902 26.97% 1976 United States Senate election in Wisconsin results map by county.svg 250px County resultsProxmire: #7996e2 50–60% #6674de 60–70% #584cde 70–80% #3933e5 80–90% U.S. Senator William Proxmire Democratic Party (United States) William Proxmire Democratic Party (United States) 1976 United States Senate election in Wisconsin List of United States senators from WisconsinOriginally elected in 1957 to fill the seat of Joseph McCarthy, William Proxmire had won re-election three times prior to 1976.

McGee, the incumbent senator and former professor at the University of Wyoming, was originally elected in 1958 over Frank A. Barrett. He subsequently won two more elections to the senate over John S. Wold. McGee, who managed to become re-elected several times in a heavily Republican-leaning state, faced headwinds from Gerald Ford's popularity in the state. State senator Malcolm Wallop was the Republican nominee. In the general election, Wallop comfortably defeated McGee, who won just four counties in the state. To date, McGee is the last Democratic senator from the state of Wyoming. 1976 United States Senate election in Wyoming Results Republican Party (US) Malcolm Wallop 84,810 54.59 Democratic Party (US) Gale McGee (Incumbent) 70,558 45.41 14,252 9.12 155,368 Republican Party (US) Democratic Party (US) See also 1976 United States elections 1976 United States gubernatorial elections 1976 United States presidential election 1976 United States House of Representatives elections 94th United States Congress 95th United States Congress Notes References Sources Congressional Elections, 1946-1996 1998 Washington, D.C.
