==Election of 1948==
In the 1948 Wisconsin Democratic primary two names appeared on the ballot, the incumbent [[Harry Truman]], and a [[progressive]] challenger, former [[Vice President]] [[Henry A. Wallace]]. At the Democratic convention, delegates who were allocated to Wallace votede for Truman.
In early January 1949 when the Wisconsin legislature met, this was a high priority - the disenfranchisement of progressive voters who voted for Wallace. The state legislature acted, binding by state law the primary election results upon delegates in both parties - that delegates must vote at the convention in accordance with the will of the voters at the primary election ballot box.
==DNC challenges the will of the voters==
Morley Winograd, Chairman of the Michigan Democratic party was asked to chair the commission. Its specific concern was to disannul the voting rights of crossover voters among unaffiliated non-partisan voters and traditional [[Republican]] voters.
