Abstract:
One of the biggest upsets in a U.S. Senatorial campaign was in 1932 by Robert R. Reynolds over Cameron Morrison. Reynolds was against prohibition and for government regulation of liquor. Know as the “good roads governor†and a champion of public education, Morrison was so confident in the loyalty of his followers that he made virtually no campaign in the primary. But the people of North Carolina were critical of his abundant wealth through marriage, so Reynolds won by more than 100,000 votes, the largest margin in North Carolina history at that time.

Abstract:
The United States Senate seniority rule, appoints committee chairmen according to length of service and not capability, and some less than qualified senators were appointed chairmen prior to 1975. In 1941, newspapers including: THE RALEIGH NEWS & OBSERVER, THE CHARLOTTE TIMES, and THE NEW YORK TIMES, spoke out against the potential appointment of NC Sen. Robert Rice Reynolds, next in line to take over the chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs. Although Reynolds was a New Dealer, his views on foreign policy earned him the unfair but powerful designation of pro-Nazi, and many North Carolinians wrote letters to Congress urging that Reynolds not be confirmed as chairman.

Abstract:
Following the 1949 death of US Senator J. Melville Broughton of North Carolina, a special election was convened to name his successor for the remainder of his term. The election was a three-way race between Dr. Frank Porter Graham, Robert R. Reynolds, and Willis Smith. Graham was predicted to win in a landslide but Reynolds, half-hearted campaign was able to secure enough votes to force a runoff between Graham and Smith. Smith was able to upset Graham in the runoff and obtained a US Senate seat in the process.
