[1] No Senate elections were held in Georgia this year, but Senator Richard Russell, Jr. died in January of 1971. The new Governor of Georgia, Ronnie Thompson, appointed the deeply conservative congressman and fellow Republican Fletcher Thompson (no relation) to fill out the remainder of Russell's term. Conservative Democrat Larry McDonald would win the special election for the vacant House seat.
[2] Incumbent Governor was prohibited from seeking another term. Macon Mayor Ronnie Thompson would narrowly defeat former state senator Jimmy Carter to become the first Republican Governor of Georgia since Reconstruction.
[3] McLaughlin becomes the first Jesuit priest to be elected Governor of any US state; by special order of the Vatican, he is forced to resign from the order.
[4] Former Governor George Wallace defeats incumbent governor Albert Brewer, Johnson-backed Democratic candidate. Wallace has run as an independent.
