The 1946 Atlanta governor race in Georgia involved three main candidates - M.E. Thompson, Euclid P. Rogers, and Eurith Talmadge. Eurith Talmadge was the brother of former Georgia governor Eugene Talmadge and was running for his first term as governor. Euclid P. Rogers was a former mayor of Macon, Georgia, while M.E. Thompson was a former state senator from Lawrenceville, Georgia. The race was highly contentious and racially charged, with Talmadge ultimately winning the election.
