The correct answer is **D. No, a segregationist was reelected to office.**
The 1946 Georgia gubernatorial election did not result in a significant increase in political power for African Americans. Although the end of the white primary system was an important step, many barriers remained that still restricted voting rights and participation for African Americans. The election saw the reelection of a segregationist candidate, reflecting the continued dominance of segregationist policies in the state at the time.
