Critical Election in the United States
Concept of Critical Election
In the U.S., in the context of Voting, Campaigns and Elections Critical Election has the following meaning: An election marked by significant shifts in established voting patterns signaling an enduring realignment of the electorate. Though some argue that 1968 was a critical election, the last election widely acknowledged as critical was the 1932 election which swept Franklin Roosevelt and the Democrats into power on the heels of the Great Depression after a long period of Republican dominance of national politics.
