EDWARD VOIGT

Berger, an elected Congressman, was denied his seat after he had written an editorial against the First World War {587982} and been convicted under the then existing law. The House vote was 311 to 1. The 1 was Voigt. Berger was re-elected again anyway. Finally, the Supreme Court overturned his conviction and the House seated Burger. The one had been right; the 311, wrong.
