In one of the greatest upsets in presidential election
history, Democratic incumbent Harry S. Truman
defeats his Republican challenger, Governor Thomas
E. Dewey of New York, by just over two million popular
votes.

       
In the days preceding the vote, political analysts and
polls were so behind Dewey that on election night,
long before all the votes were counted, the Chicago
Tribune published an early edition with the banner
headline above, “DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN.”

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s request to add
a documentary proof of citizenship requirement to the federal
voter registration form cannot be enforced, a federal judge
ruled Friday.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C.,
sided with Democratic and civil rights groups that sued the
Trump administration over his executive order to overhaul U.S.
elections.

She ruled that the proof-of-citizenship directive is an
unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers.
