Among the 21 Democratic Senators who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, one later switched to the Republican Party. Many media outlets have reported without evidence that most racist Southern Democrats became Republicans, but as documented at the link below, the vast bulk of politicians and voters who supported segregation stayed in the Democratic Party and on the political left.
