Answer 1

"The Supreme Court ruled that all three men should share the position of governor until the next election." — NOT true.

In fact, the courts ruled that Melvin E. Thompson (the lieutenant governor-elect) was the rightful acting governor until a special election; Herman Talmadge was later removed and then won the subsequent special election.
