And did it cost him re-election in 1970?

He was never up for re-election, because Lloyd Bentsen successfully primaried him from the right. His support for civil rights was a strong factor, however, with Bentsen accusing him of being in favor of busing and other unpopular practices. Bentsen also attacked Yarborough's record on the Vietnam War as insufficiently hawkish.
