U.S. Senate set to hold test vote Wednesday on election reforms
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Senate is likely to take a procedural vote on Wednesday on whether to debate an overhaul of federal election law, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Monday as he urged Republicans not to block the measure.
"If there's anything worthy of debate in this chamber, it should be protecting and strengthening our democracy," Schumer, a Democrat, said of the bill to expand voters' access to mail-in ballots and other steps.
If Republicans prevent debate on the bill, some Democrats are likely to urge Schumer to find a way around the Senate's filibuster procedure that requires at least 60 votes in the evenly split, 100-member chamber for most legislation to advance.
Such ideas include exempting the measure from the filibuster. Others include requiring that senators stay in the chamber and talk until the filibuster is abandoned - the way it used to be done.
