United States Senate elections, 1870 and 1871
In the United States Senate elections of 1870 and 1871, the Republican Party lost five seats in the United States Senate, though it still retained an overwhelming majority. In advance of these elections, the last four seceded states were readmitted to the Senate. As these elections were prior to ratification of the seventeenth amendment, Senators were chosen by State legislatures.
