W. Bush]] selected [[United States Senate\|U.S. Senator]] [[Dan Quayle]] of [[Indiana]] as his vice presidential nominee. The Bush-Quayle ticket defeated the [[Michael Dukakis\|Dukakis]]-[[Lloyd Bentsen\|Bentsen]] ticket in the general election by a 53%-46% margin, capturing 40 states and 426 [[Electoral College (United States)\|electoral votes]]. In order to assume the ~~Vice~~vice ~~Presidency~~presidency in January 1989, Quayle was required to resign his seat in the Senate. In preparation for the pending vacancy, [[Governor of Indiana\|Governor]] [[Robert D. Orr]] appointed four-term [[United States House of Representatives\|U.S. Representative]] [[Dan Coats]] to fill Quayle's seat on December 12, 1988. Coats was a former aide to Quayle, whom he had succeeded as U.S. Representative for [[Indiana's 4th congressional district]] in 1981, and had just been elected to a fifth term from that seat. Quayle eventually resigned his Senate seat on January 3, 1989, and Coats was immediately sworn ~~into~~in as his ~~office~~successor. ==Candidates == Line 49 ⟶ 51: ==Results == {{Election box begin \| title = 1990 United States Senate special election in Indiana<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/electionInfo/1990election.pdf \|title=Statistics of the Congressional Election of November 6, 1990 \| last=Dendy \|first=Dallas L. \|format=PDF}}</ref>}} {{Election box winning candidate with party link \| party = Republican Party (United States) \| candidate = [[Dan Coats]] (incumbent) \| votes = 806,048 \| percentage = 53.664% \| change = -6.93% }} {{Election box candidate with party link\|party=Democratic Party (United States)\|candidate=[[Baron Hill (politician)\|Baron Hill]]\|votes=696,639\|percentage=46.36%\|change=+7.85%}} ~~\| party = Democratic Party (United States)~~ ~~\| candidate = [[Baron Hill (politician)\|Baron Hill]]~~ ~~\| votes = 696,639~~ ~~\| percentage = 46.4%~~ ~~\| change = +7.85%~~ }} {{Election box total \| votes = 1,502,687 Line 78 ⟶ 74: ==See also == * [[List of United States ~~Senators~~senators from Indiana]] * [[1990 United States Senate elections]] {{1990 United States elections~~, 1990~~}} {{United States Senate elections}} [[Category:United States Senate elections in Indiana\|1990]] [[Category:1990 United States Senate elections\|Indiana]] [[Category:1990 Indiana elections\|United States Senate]] [[Category:United States Senate special elections\|Indiana 1990]] [[Category:Indiana special elections\|United States Senate 1990]] [[Category:Special elections to the 101st United States Congress\|Indiana]]
