...state senate voted 27 to 23 to table the ERA, virtually eliminating any chance for passage there. The fight is now concentrated in Oklahoma, Florida and Illinois. In Oklahoma, where a ratification resolution was voted down in January, ERA supporters have collected 25,000 signatures petitioning Governor George Nigh to convene a special legislative session to reconsider passage. Nigh has rejected a special session for the moment, but aides say he would call one if one or two more states ratify the amendment...

Pro-ERA forces waged a vigorous campaign in Oklahoma, where the amendment was thought to have the strongest chance for passage. Governor George Nigh and the leadership of both houses of the state legislature supported the measure. Pro-ERA groups ran radio, television and newspaper ads, took polls and organized door-to-door canvassing. The requisite celebrities (Valerie Harper, Marlo Thomas, Phil Donahue, Alan Alda) and politicians (former Vice President Walter Mondale) made appeals...
