The correct answer is **D**. No, a segregationist was reelected to office.
While the end of the white primary system in Georgia was a significant step toward increasing African American participation in the political process, it did not immediately lead to effective political representation or a sufficient voice in politics for African Americans. The 1946 election saw the re-election of a segregationist governor, which indicated that systemic barriers to full political participation remained in place for minorities at that time.
