Answer: Herman Talmadge
Explanation: In 1946, an Election took place between 2 Democrats, Ellis Arnall, the incumbent governor of Georgia, and Eugene Talmadge, the former governor of Georgia prior to Arnall. In the end, Talmadge won but he died soon later. So, many politicians started to claim that his son Herman actually won and that they "uncovered" thousands of write in ballots for him. Arnall argued against this saying that he won by default and the Lt. Governor (Like the Vice President of the Governor) Melvin Thompson claimed he should be Governor since Arnall and Talmadge were not governor. This created the 3 Governors Controversy that had these 3 claiming to be governor at the same time. The Georgia legislature voted on the matter and decided that Herman Talmadge will be Governor of Georgia.
