Line 78: The '''1944 United States House of Representatives elections''' were elections for the [[United States House of Representatives]] to elect members to serve in the [[79th United States Congress]]. They were held for the most part on November 7, 1944, while Maine held theirs on September 11. These elections coincided with [[President of the United States\|President]] [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]'s [[1944 United States presidential election\|re-election]] to a record fourth term. Roosevelt's popularity allowed his [[United States Democratic Party\|Democratic Party]] to gain twenty seats from the [[United States Republican Party\|Republican]]s and minor parties, cementing the Democratic majority. Also, Americans rallied behind ~~allied~~[[Allies of World War II\|Allied success]] in [[World War II]], and in turn voted favorably for the administration's course of action. {{As of\|~~2022~~2024}}, this is the last time the House of Representatives was made up of four parties (in December 2020, House Republican [[Paul Mitchell (politician)\|Paul Mitchell]] became an [[Independent politician\|Independent]], resulting in there being four partisan affiliations (Republican, Democratic, Independent, and [[Libertarian Party (United States)\|Libertarian]]) though not four political parties). == Special elections == Line 3,269: == New Mexico == ~~<!--~~{{Main\|1944 United States House of Representatives election in New Mexico}}~~-->~~ {{See also\|List of United States representatives from New Mexico}} Line 3,405: * {{Party stripe\|Democratic Party (US)}}{{Aye}} '''[[Andrew Lawrence Somers]]''' (Democratic) 57.8% * {{Party stripe\|Republican Party (US)}}Philip Kahaner (Republican) 27.0% * {{Party stripe\|Liberal Party (USNew York)}}Louis P.
