By 1946, white primaries were no longer allowed in Georgia. As a result, thousands of black Georgians participated in the 1946 democratic primary for governor. James Carmichael won the popular vote. However, former governor Eugene Talmadge still received the democratic nomination for governor.
Which answer BEST describes how Eugene Talmadge won?
A
In 1946, only one candidate was on the ballot: Talmadge. Even though many black Georgians voted for Carmichael, these votes were not counted.

B
Even though the white primaries were eliminated, many systems of disenfranchisement, such as literacy tests, were still in place and that kept many black Georgians from registering to vote. If you were not registered, your vote did not count.

C
Georgia’s constitution allowed for legislators to choose the governor from the two candidates with the highest number of votes. Even though Carmichael won the popular vote, the legislature chose the candidate with the second highest number of votes, Talmadge.

D
Georgia’s county unit system for counting votes meant that more sparsely populated rural areas collectively had more voting power than more densely populated urban areas. Many of Georgia’s black voters lived in urban areas and their votes did not count as much as rural votes under this system.
