"The Supreme Court ruled that all three men should share the position of governor until the next election" is NOT true.
Explanation: After Eugene Talmadge died before inauguration, Ellis Arnall, Herman Talmadge, and Melvin Thompson all claimed the governorship for about two months (the "Three Governors" controversy). The Georgia courts ultimately ruled that Melvin Thompson was the rightful acting governor until a special election; the courts did not order the three men to share the office.
