2004 ELECTION RESULTS The following four sections present the primary, runoff and general election results for the U.S. Presidential and U.S. Congressional elections held in 2004. The November 2004 general election (and Louisiana’s December 2004 runoff election) resulted in the election of the 109th Congress. The following is the party composition of the 109th Congress, as determined by the results of these elections: U.S. Senate Republicans: 55 Democrats: 44 Independents: 1 U.S. House of Representatives Republicans: 232 Democrats: 202 Independents: 1 Notes on Charts * Runoff election vote totals have been included with the primary election totals. (For the U.S. Senate, runoff elections were held in Georgia and South Carolina. For the U.S. House of Representatives, runoff elections were held in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas.) For Louisiana, runoff election vote totals have been included with the general election totals. The following three situations account for blank spaces in the charts and should be considered when making comparisons or drawing conclusions about the vote totals. * In some states, i.e., Connecticut, Utah and Virginia, political parties may nominate general election candidates by party convention, rather than by primary election. * In some states, there were unopposed candidates whose names did not appear on a ballot and therefore received no votes. * 34 states had regularly scheduled U.S. Senate elections in 2004. 2004 PRESIDENTIAL POPULAR VOTE SUMMARY FOR ALL CANDIDATES LISTED ON AT LEAST ONE STATE BALLOT Candidate (Party Label) Popular Vote Total Percent of Popular Vote George W.
