Senate Democrats are quietly revamping cybersecurity legislation in an attempt to pick up Republican votes. The move is an acknowledgement that they currently lack the 60 votes needed to bring their preferred bill to the floor. "Undoubtedly we'll make some changes," a Senate Democratic aide said. But he said getting the legislation through the Senate "is not as hard of a lift as some people have made it out to be." The aide predicted that the entire Senate Democratic caucus will vote for the bill.
