The two significant outcomes of the end of the white primary are:

  1. It led to the registration of many African American voters.
  2. It ended the system in which the Democrats historically controlled Georgia's politics.

The end of the white primary allowed African Americans to participate more fully in the electoral process, leading to increased voter registration and engagement. Additionally, it challenged the long-standing dominance of the Democratic Party by opening the political landscape to broader participation.
