The correct answer is **A. No, a segregationist was reelected to office.**
While the end of the white primary system did allow for some African American participation in politics, the broader environment of segregation and systemic racism in Georgia meant that the election of 1946 still resulted in the reelection of a segregationist. This indicated that while there were some changes, the political landscape remained largely unresponsive to the needs and voices of African Americans at that time.
