  U.S. presidential election, 1932 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The U.S. presidential election of 1932 took place as the effects of the 1929 Stock Market Crash and the Great Depression were being felt intensely across the country.
1932 is universally considered to be a realigning election.
The election was held on November 8, 1932.

 [No title]
The 1920 election of Warren Harding is put in this category due to the sense that it involved, as the popular slogan of the campaign had it, 'a return to normalcy' of Republican control -- a return to the perceived normal state of affairs before the election of the Democrat Wilson.
Although 1932 is commonly seen as a similar realignment of force attributable to the economic depression the country and world was suffering through, it was a realignment that survived only due to the abnormal world conditions of the war and only as long as FDR was the candidate.
For the next election, the set of items which can be classified under the Whitewater may well suggest a heightened likelihood of an irregular election, but barring that, the most likely scenario for 2000 would be the probability of a return to normalcy election which would also elect a Republican President.

 The Great Debate & Beyond : The History of Televised Presidential Debates
The turnout in the off-year elections during the 1950's was never as high proportionately as it was in the off-year election of 1938.
Between the elections of 1932 and 1940, however, the turnout records jumped more than 8 percentage points; the off-year congressional vote increased even more markedly-from 33.7 per cent in 1930 to 44.1 per cent in 1938.
Election statistics are notoriously difficult to interpret, but one thing is apparent: The advent of radio was followed by a general and significant increase of turnout in national elections; the arrival of television was not.

Finally, in 1932 Venizelos didn’t hesitate to announce a series of measures, programmed for September that year, which he knew would undermine his popularity in the period leading up to the elections.
From the end of March 1932 the political world began to discuss the need to replace the Venizelos government with a "Coalition Government, as had happened in other European countries, in order to deal with the effects of the economic crisis and to map-out a cross-party fiscal policy.
In May 1932 Parliament voted on law 5493, which ruled that the simple proportional system should be adopted in parliamentary elections.

But in the parliamentary elections held later that April, the National Socialists increased their seats from 107 to 162, the National Socialists becoming the largest political party in Germany.
In the November elections, the Communists won seventeen percent of the vote, and their number of seats in parliament rose to 100, while Hitler's National Socialists lost 34 seats.
The elections were held in the crisis atmosphere created by the parliament building (Reichstag) fire, and the National Socialists won 43.9 percent of the vote - another indication that nothing succeeds like success.

 Historical Figures - Adolf Hitler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The 1930 election was a disaster for Heinrich Brüning's center-right government, which was now deprived of any chance at a Reichstag majority, and had to rely on the toleration of the Social Democrats and the use of presidential emergency powers to remain in power.
The embarrassments of the election put an end to Hindenburg's tolerance for Brüning, and the old Field Marshal dismissed the government, appointing a new government under the reactionary non-entity Franz von Papen, which immediately repealed the ban on the SA and called for new Reichstag elections.
Hitler's initial election into office and his use of constitutionally enshrined mechanisms to shore up power have led to the myth that his country elected him dictator and that a majority supported his ascent.

 "Happy Days Are Here Again": A Left and Right Brain 4MAT Approach to Teaching Depression-Era Presidential ...
Roosevelt’s landslide victories of 1932 and 1936 were accomplished through a new coalition of urban workers and African Americans, together with the still traditionally solid white South that would keep the Republicans out of the White House until 1953.
Although the issues and events surrounding the presidential election campaigns of 1932, 1936, and 1940 were of tremendous historical importance, from a political perspective the three elections lacked the drama and suspense of late-nineteenth-century contests.
Even though these elections all resulted in landslide victories for FDR, there are still a number of demographic and longitudinal lessons students can learn from analyzing the popular and electoral voting results of each depression-era presidential contest.

 Idaho Judicial Selection
The move to nonpartisan elections was the result of a pro-Democratic sweep in Idaho and the rest of the country in the early 1930s.
After the defeat of two Republican incumbent justices in the 1932 elections, Idaho's Republican leadership pushed for a constitutional amendment mandating nonpartisan elections.
The group has proposed a "fair judicial elections option," under which candidates for the supreme court and court of appeals could choose not to accept private money, and instead would receive a set amount of funds from a public trust to run their campaign.

The last free German elections took place in 1932, in an atmosphere of violence and intimidation provided by the Nazi thugs.
In 1932 the parliamentary elections, the Nazis received only 37.4% of the vote.
This means that in the crucial free elections the majority of the Germans voted against Hitler and against the Nazi party.

 Honduras - The Era of Tiburcio Carías Andino, 1932-54
Despite growing unrest and severe economic strains, the 1932 presidential elections in Honduras were relatively peaceful and fair.
The peaceful transition of power was surprising because the onset of the depression had led to the overthrow of governments elsewhere throughout Latin America, in nations with much stronger democratic traditions than those of Honduras.
On November 16, 1932, Carías assumed office, beginning what was to be the longest period of continuous rule by an individual in Honduran history.

So different are President Bush and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry — in everything from personal style to their approaches to major international, domestic and cultural issues facing the country — that voters have, in effect, a choice between ratifying America's current path and charting a new one.
Like other historic elections, in 1980, 1964 and 1932, the outcome of this year's vote could usher in a radically different way of governing.
As in the election of 1964, which pitted Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater against President Lyndon Johnson, the out-of-power party decided to sharpen the differences.

Although any of the currently declared Democratic candidates for President could, in theory, win in 2004 if they carefully choose their vice presidential candidates, in practice it would be difficult for many of them to find candidates for Vice President with the right combination of governmental and non-governmental experience.
Although their formula correctly predicted the winners of the U.S. presidential elections between 1932 and 2000, it did not correctly predict the winners of all the U.S. presidential elections between 1789 and 1928.
Schulman (2001) obviously believed that U.S. presidential elections over the last 70 years are not typical of all U.S. presidential elections.

In the Presidential elections of March 1932 there were three main candidates: the monarchist militarist Hindenburg, Hitler, and the KPD candidate Thaelmann.
The speech of Breitscheid at Darmstadt on the occasion of the Hesse elections and the comments of Vorwaerts on this speech show that social democracy by his manoeuvre is drawing on the wall the devil of Hitler's fascism and is holding back the masses from the real struggle against the dictatorship of finance capital.
In the elections of November 1932 - the last free elections before Hitler took power - the combined vote of the Socialists and Communists was greater than that of the Nazis.

Some of the more notable of such elections occurred in 1800 (transfer of power from the Federalists to the Democratic-Republicans), 1824 (split of the Democratic-Republicans), 1860 (creation of the Republican Party), 1932 (creation of the “New Deal” Democrats), and, most recently, Ronald Reagan’s revival of the Republican Party in 1980.
Given this, it is quite likely that the significance of the 2004 elections, though continually being downplayed in front of the cameras by the usual suspects, has in no way been lost upon the Democratic Party leadership and its members.
And, with the election of Howard Dean as the party’s National Committee Chairman, it should be infinitely clear that, for the time being, the New Deal Democratic wing of the party prevailed.
