The governor of Georgia who was strongly opposed to the New Deal was Eugene Talmadge. His death in 1946 led to the "three governors controversy," as there was a dispute over who should succeed him, with multiple individuals claiming the governorship. The situation was further complicated by Talmadge's refusal to accept the legitimacy of the election of his successor, Ellis Arnall, leading to a political crisis in the state. Ultimately, the controversy was resolved when the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that Arnall was the rightful governor.
