1806 and 1807 United States Senate elections
The 1806 and 1807 United States Senate elections were elections that had the Democratic-Republican Party increase its overwhelming control of the Senate by one additional Senator. The Federalists went into the elections with such a small share of Senate seats (7 out of 34, or 21%) that even if they had won every election, they would still have remained a minority caucus. As it was, however, they lost one of the two seats they were defending and picked up no gains from their opponents. As these elections were prior to ratification of  the seventeenth amendment, Senators were chosen by state legislatures. Results summary.
