Who did the Georgia Supreme Court declare as the governor of Georgia after Eugene Talmadge died in 1946? The previous governor remained governor.
Florida's governor took control of Georgia’s government.
Georgia’s lieutenant governor became governor.
The speaker of the General Assembly became governor.

The answer would be, C) Georgia's lieutenant governor became governor.

Explanation:

On December 21, 1946, Eugene Talmadge, the governor-elect of Georgia, died before taking office. The state constitution did not specify who would assume the governorship in such a situation, so three men made claims to the governorship: Ellis Arnall, the outgoing governor; Melvin E Thompson, the lieutenant governor-elect, and Herman Talmadge, Eugene Talmadge's son.
