Bid to Kill Voter Bill Defeated in Senate
The Senate voted 53 to 43 against limiting debate on the Kennedy administration voter literacy bill. The measure would exempt sixth graders from literacy tests for federal elections. Democrats split 30 to 30, Republicans 23 to 13 against debate limits, signaling no clear fate for civil rights legislation. Mansfield and Dirksen backed further votes, but tabling failed 64 to 33. This marks a historic challenge to antifilibuster reform.
