Before this election, liberal members of the eventual victor's party, such as Elliott Roosevelt, attempted to "dump" the winner in favor of candidates like William O. Douglas. This election's winner engaged in a "whistle-stop" campaign during which he criticized the "Do-Nothing Congress" for opposing the Fair Deal. The States' Rights Democratic Party was formed by Dixiecrats who opposed integration and voted for Strom Thurmond during this election. Because many East Coast polls were not yet available, the Chicago Tribune published an early incorrect result of this election. For 10 points, identify this presidential election in which Thomas Dewey was defeated by Harry Truman.
