Voting Act Changes Defeated in Senate Vote
The Senate defeated, 50 to 19, Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr.'s bid to soften the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

The act currently applies to North Carolina counties and to Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Virginia, with those states not affected due to low 1964 registration levels.
