1928 United States Presidential Election

The 1928 United States presidential election was the fifth Election in Historical Mock U.S. Gov.

For the Presidency, only two candidates were nominated. Cathal C. Ualtair ran on a successful bid for re-election as President, running as the Socialist Worker's Party nominee with the added support of the Democratic Party. John F. Kennedy ran with the support of the Republican Party, successfully winning the Republican Primary. During the election, the Northeast Representative Seat 4 and Midwest Representative Seat 2 also opened up, but had no candidates.

The Election was not without controversy, however. Many Republicans entered the United States in critical swing regions, intending to sway the vote for JFK. Authorities, after much debate, determined that the "Swarm Votes" would not be counted. It was also controversial that the popular vote winner failed to win the Presidency. {| class="article-table" ! colspan="3" |
