Contents: |
In 1946, the Georgia Veterans for Majority Rule group brought forth two lawsuits against the Georgia Democratic Executive
Committee in objection to the county unit system. The Georgia Veterans for Majority Rule found the county unit system unconstitutional
which gave an overwhelming advantage for candidates to win votes in rural counties despite the fact that the population of
rural Georgia only comprised approximately one-third of the state's population. Earl Pope Cook was a Troup County native and
Army Signal Corps veteran who testified as a plaintiff in one of the two test suits against the Georgia State Democratic Executive
Committee and the Secretary of State, Ben W. Fortson.
