Despite opposition from within their own party, Senate Democrats plan to vote on requiring a “talking filibuster” for those who want to block voting and election overhaul legislation, leadership announced Tuesday.

“If Republicans block cloture on legislation before us, I will put forward a proposal to change the rules to allow for a talking filibuster on this legislation,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said at a press conference.
