Well, what I was saying is that in 1964 the vote would have been split along race lines. Thus the south would vote against and the north for. In 1964 the majority of southern congressman were democrats who supported segregation thus they would vote for what their constituents wanted. After civil rights was enacted the South feeling betrayed by democrats moved toward the Republicans and have been there since.

So that is why the vote would be skewed. And prior to that time this southern democrat vote would have strongly opposed civil rights. If the vote was from republican congressman down south at that time the results would likely have been the southern republicans against civil rights. That is my view. So if you have data on how Republicans voted from the south during all these time frames it might provide some data for comparison.
