Georgia voters elected Joseph M. Brown Democrat as governor over Yancey Carter by an estimated 40 000 to 50 000 majority. Turnout was light, perhaps 69 percent of registered voters. Total votes may not exceed 710 000 with Brown set to receive about 80 000 and Carter around 60 000. Brown faced opposition within the Democratic ticket for the disfranchisement amendment, which received less support than Brown, as most Negro voters backed Brown while opposing the amendment. Some white voters also opposed it. Returns are incomplete and the official count could show defeat of the amendment, though unlikely. Ninety percent of Carter’s vote may go to Bryan in November.
