The 1942 United States House of Representatives elections was held in the middle of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's third term. It was the first wartime election in the United States since 1918. Roosevelt's Democratic Party lost 45 seats to the Republican Party, retaining only a slender majority even though they lost the popular vote by over 1 million votes (3.9%). This would not occur again until 1952, when the party who won the popular vote did not also win the House majority. This was the most successful congressional election for Republicans since 1930. The main factor that led to the Republican gains during this election cycle was popular dissatisfaction with American involvement in World War II. As of 2022, this is the last time the House of Representatives was made up of five part

  • 1942년 미국 하원의원 선거는 1942년 11월 3일에서 1942년 미국 상원의원 선거와 같이 치러졌다. 민주당은 과반을 차지하지만 득표에선 패배한다. (ko)

  • Bei den Wahlen zum Repräsentantenhaus der Vereinigten Staaten 1942 wurden am 3. November 1942 die Abgeordneten des Repräsentantenhauses gewählt. Im Bundesstaat Maine fanden die Wahlen bereits am 14. September statt. Die Wahlen waren Teil der allgemeinen Wahlen zum 78. Kongress der Vereinigten Staaten in jenem Jahr, bei denen auch ein Drittel der US-Senatoren gewählt wurden. Da die Wahlen etwa in der Mitte der dritten Amtszeit des Demokratischen Präsidenten Franklin D. Roosevelt stattfanden (Midterm Election), galten sie auch als Votum über die bisherige Politik des Präsidenten. Die Wahl war von den Ereignissen des Zweiten Weltkriegs überschattet. Kriegsbedingt gab es auch mehr Briefwähler durch die Soldaten, die sich außer Landes im Kriegseinsatz befanden. (de)
