	U.S. presidential election, 1972 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nixon won the election in a landslide, but the seeds of his eventual ouster were planted as people working for his campaign broke into the Democratic headquarters in the Watergate hotel.
		Even though Nixon was not a popular incumbent president in 1972, most of the clandestine activities later leading to the Watergate scandal were not well known in the press yet, and the infighting that divided the Democrats would ensure that McGovern would be defeated.
		Part of the steep drop from the previous elections can be explained by the ratification of the 26th Amendment which expanded the franchise to 18-year-olds.

	The First Post-War Parliamentary Elections in Lebanon
		Perhaps the 1992 round's primary characteristic is that it dealt with the issue of the relationship between state and society, and between the state and the voter, and the boycotter and the opposition, in addition to the relationship between the authorities and their decision-making abilities.
		Among the noteworthy and unaccustomed-to differences that tarnished the 1992 round was the government's strong insistence on holding elections, ignoring both the opposition and calls for postponement by the principal political and religious leaders, while the majority of people were either unconcerned with or opposed to the matter (1).
		If the 1972 elections, the last round prior to the outbreak of war in 1975, recorded the highest levels of freedom, true representation, and real competition in comparison with previous rounds (2), then the 1992 elections came as a reversal, on all levels.

		In a model where primary or intra-party elections are considered, the actors are of course the individual candidates and their supporters, but in a general election, candidate and party are difficult to separate.
		In sharp contrast to the 1964 and 1972 elections, the incumbent's margin of victory was close to uniform throughout the country.
		What further separates the 1984 election from the previous two elections considered is that Mondale was not seen as an extremist by members of his own party or by the media; Mondale was, in terms of political credentials, arguably the most qualified candidate his party could field.

		The legislative and municipal elections of March 1970 were discouraging for the PDC, as it dropped three seats in the Legislative Assembly and lost control of seventy municipalities.
		The PDC opted to participate in the elections as the leading party of a coalition designated the United National Opposition (Union Nacional Opositora--UNO).
		Further roadblocks were thrown in the way of UNO by the PCN- controlled Central Electoral Council, which disqualified the opposition coalition's candidate slates for the Legislative Assembly in the departments of San Salvador, San Miguel, Usulutan, Sonsonate, La Union, and San Vicente.
