is the 1946 governers race the same event as the three governers controversy?
No, the 1946 governor's race and the three governors controversy are two different events in United States history.
The 1946 governor's race refers to the various gubernatorial elections that took place in different states across the country in 1946.
The three governors controversy, on the other hand, refers to a specific situation in which three different individuals claimed to be the legitimate governor of the state of Georgia in 1947. This dispute arose after the death of the incumbent governor, Eugene Talmadge, and led to a constitutional crisis in the state.
