Thanks Dale for finding/posting the data. The data is clear - Civil Rights was a bipartisan victory with most of the "no" votes being southern democrats.

As for northern Republicans were in favor, but they are mostly gone nowadays:

Few people that served in 1964 are still around but the Republican party does still exist in northern states - it won the Gov race in NJ and the Senate seat in Mass within the last year. There is a difference between being in a minority and being gone.

* Southern Democrats: 1-20 (5%-95%) (only Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)

Ralph Yarborough was one of the great southern senators. And an arch political rival of LBJ's. There was a time in Texas history in which the liberal wing of the Democratic party had enough clout to elect a senator state wide.
