1982 United States House Elections (Alternate Party USA)

The 1982 United States House Elections was held on the 2nd of November 1982, electing all the 435 seats in the House of Representatives. The election saw a victory for the famously called 'Reagan Coalition', a coalition between the Republican Party, the Christian People's Party and the Moderate Republican Party, that were supportive of the presidency of Ronald Reagan.

Before the election, the Republicans had moved further to the right, following the election of conservative president Ronald Reagan. With this shift, they managed to gather support from the States' Rights Democratic Party, also known as the Dixiecrats, a regional segregationist party in the southern United States. This move also saw the Moderate Republican Party gain voters in previous Republican strongholds in the Northeast.

The election was a major defeat for the political left-wing. Both the Progressive Party and the Socialist Party of America saw a loss in support, with many voters associating them with the unrest from previous decades. With this loss, the left-wing coalition lost their grip on the House majority.

Only party outside of the right that grew in support, was the African American National Party. Under the leadership of Andrew Young, the party moved from the revolutionary activism that was associated with the party under the civil right era to becoming a pro-social justice party that leaned more on African-American christian democratic values.
