The film in this collection depict footage related to voting and the Three Governors Controversy in Georgia. The Three Governors Controversy began with the death of Governor-elect Eugene Talmadge in 1946. After his death, a political struggle for the governor’s office ensued involving the incumbent governor Ellis Arnall, Lieutenant Governor Melvin Thompson, and Talmadge's son Herman, who was subsequently elected by the Georgia Assembly. In March of 1947 the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that Melvin Thompson was rightful governor until a special election could be held in 1948. Herman Talmadge won that election, defeating Ellis Arnall.

The bulk of this footage shows a meeting at the Piedmont Hotel on January 27, 1947, of the Aroused Citizens of Georgia, an organization which opposed Herman Talmadge's election as governor during the early months of the Three Governors Controversy in 1947. Speakers during this meeting include Harvey J. Kennedy, co-chair of the organization and mayor of Barnesville, Georgia; Dr. Paul E. Bryan, a law professor at Emory University; Grace Connally, a supporter of Herman Talmadge, who is seen disrupting the meeting and physically grabbing the arm of Judge Blanton Fortson, co-chair of the Aroused Citizens of Georgia, who is seated in the audience.

This footage also features segregated voting lines and booths at Nathan B. Forrest Elementary School, presumably for the 1940 general election.
