Who were those people besides the two conflicted southerners you posted??

You said there weren't any. One is enough to show your wrong. I posted two. I don't even know the names of that many on either side of the vote from back then. It was over 50 years ago, and its not like I memorize the names of a large numbers of even current members of congress. You complain about having to click back a few posts, but now you want me to research and present the voting records of a bunch of politicians from before I was born? I'm not getting paid for any of this. You won't do the research yourself but you always want others to do it.

But almost all the Democrats who voted against it remained in the Democratic party. The southern Democratic senator who switch parties after voting against the 1964 civil rights act was Strom Thurmond. (not going to look up hundreds of representatives, but if it happened there it wasn't common).

You know I said I wasn't going to give you more but fine I'll throw in another name. Sam Ervin. OTOH Ervin seems to have voted against the bill for genuine constitutional scruples, not racism or pandering to racism, so he's like Goldwater in that regard. Still you didn't specify reason for voting.

And a forth name J. Lister Hill.
