There were few public opinion polls in 1964 so partisans in both parties were caught by surprise when this phenomenal Democratic tsunami hit conservative North Dakota. In that election, the state not only re-elected incumbents Sen. Quentin Burdick, Gov. William Guy and Public Service Commissioner Bruce Hagen by significant margins but added Lt. Gov. Charles Tighe, Treas- urer Walt Christensen and Insurance Commissioner Kelly Nygaard. The legislative races demon- strated the depth of the change when Democrats won control of the House of Representatives by turning over 20 Republican house seats. In facts, many of the districts filled their leg- islative tickets with the promise that there was little chance they would ever get elected and go to Bismarck. Even though Democrats had a senator and the governor, the party was a mess at the beginning of the year. Lacking nominees for several state offices, the party convention passed a resolution authorizing the executive committee to recruit can- didates and went home. In the middle of July, the party headquarters was so poor, according to one observer, that it didn't even have enough money for postage to ask the precinct committeemen to send emergency help, It was an election year without promise until the votes came in. De- mocrats are now wondering: will there be any comparison of 2018 to 1964? Democrats have become embold- ened this year, considering all of the turnovers that have been occurring in offices at all levels, in addition, they have a few advantages heading into the fall campaign.
