Hey, I was at the meeting at the old Georgian Terrace Hotel where an effort was made to draft Arnall into an organized write-in campaign. He refused to be a part of the effort and in fact urged the crowd by phone to not go forward with a write-in effort. Dr Martin Luther King Sr. was at the meeting, and to the shock of most of the several hundred people there, urged an attempt to draft his personal friend Sen Herman Talmadge as a write-in. The Senator was called and also refused to cooperate. After about three hours the meeting broke up with no decision on whether to endorse a writ-in. Yes, several thousand people did write-in Arnall, a few wrote-in Jimmy Carter (He had also been on the Primary ballot and would win 4 years later). Arnall never urged anyone to write-in his name. Yes, I had voted for Arnall in the Primary and Primary runoff, but I held my nose and voted for Calloway in the General.

No, the Republicans did not elect Maddox, the Ga legislature did, but a few foolish Republicans probably did give him the slight boost he needed to become one of the choices before the legislature in the first place. And yes, the facts are sometime inconvenient.
