The Senate procedural vote on the voting/elections package is 49-51. 50-50 along party lines, @SenSchumer switched to no for procedural reasons. All Republicans unite to sustain the filibuster. The vote falls short of the 60 needed. Next up: A vote on changing Senate rules. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Angus King (I-Vermont) says the Democrats' proposed talking filibuster mirrors an earlier Senate rule prior to a change in the 1970s: "Strom Thurmond would've loved this filibuster. He wouldn't have to stand here for 24 hours." He wants "a return to the old filibuster." — PolitiTweet.org
