  • Descrição: Objective. Scant research exists on open seat elections. From 1982 to 1992 the Republican party realized no gains in open seat elections, despite continued protestations that the Democratic party incumbency advantage prevented the growth of Republican representation. Methods. This note examines open seat U.S. House elections from 1982 to 1992 to determine whether there is an inherent Democratic party advantage in congressional elections in the absence of incumbency. Results. Democratic party candidates obtained larger electoral benefits from political experience than their Republican opponents, and were advantaged by the presence of substantial minority populations in congressional districts, supporting the concept of an inherent electoral advantage. Conclusions. The prospects for expanded Republican representation depended on minimizing the differences in experience between Democratic and Republican candidates, establishing substantial spending advantages, and limiting the impact of minority populations to as few congressional districts as possible. Republicans derived some benefits from displacing minority populations in the South in 1992, although the effects were not sufficient to offset weak Republican presidential coattails and the presence of well-financed, experienced Democratic candidates.
