Georgia's white primary was made illegal in 1945, making it possible for African Americans to participate in the 1946 governor's race.

Despite this fact, why was the outcome of the election still considered a step backwards for the Civil Rights Movement?
a
The death of governor-elect Eugene Talmadge led to the special election of his son Herman, a strong opponent of desegregation.
b
Though the white primary no longer existed, African American voters still faced expensive poll taxes.
c
The death of governor-elect Eugene Talmadge led to harsher segregation policies by Lieutenant Governor Melvin E. Thompson.
d
Though African Americans could vote in the election, there was limited transportation to take them to the polls.
