Notes

↑ There were also special elections in June, September, and November 1926.
1 2 Appointee defeated
1 2 3 Appointee elected
1 2 3 4 Senate refused to qualify
↑ Democrat Daniel F. Steck successfully challenged the 1924 election of Republican Smith W. Brookhart and the Senate awarded Steck the seat on April 12, 1926.
↑ Frank L. Smith defeated William B. McKinley for the 1926 Republican nomination in Illinois and won the subsequent general election. McKinley died shortly before the end of his term, so Smith was appointed to replace him. When Smith presented his credentials to serve the remainder of McKinely's term, the Senate refused to seat him based on what it saw as an election rife with fraud and corruption. When Smith returned with his credentials for the term he was elected to, the Senate again refused to seat him for the same reasons. Smith and the Governor considered him to be the rightful senator, but he resigned February 9, 1928.
↑ Oregon was the "tipping point" state.
↑ Due to allegations of election fraud, Smith was never seated.
↑ Vare was never seated due to Governor Gifford Pinchot refusing to certify the election and the state senate refusing to qualify him.
