C. No, a segregationist was reelected to office.
The end of the white primary system did provide some opportunities for African Americans to participate in the electoral process; however, it did not ensure that they had a sufficient voice in politics. In the 1946 Georgia gubernatorial election, a segregationist was reelected, indicating that, while some barriers were being lifted, the political landscape still largely favored segregationist policies and candidates.
