More than 50 Texas House Democrats fled the state Monday and headed\u00a0 to Washington, D.C. to halt the passage of two GOP-backed sweeping election reform bills.<\/p>\n
The measures in the bills include ending drive-thru and 24-hour polling places, banning ballot drop boxes, and empowers partisan poll watchers. They are said to be designed to ensure the integrity of the vote by preventing voter fraud.<\/p>\n
Democrats say they will restrict voting access and will disproportionately impact voters of color in the state.<\/p>\n

They will be forced to isolate for 10 days<\/em><\/p>\n By Andrew Mark Miller<\/strong><\/p>\n Several of the Texas Democrats who fled the state capital to avoid voting on an election integrity bill have tested positive for the coronavirus. <\/p>\n Three of the 60 Texas House Democrats tested positive for the virus while staying in Washington, D.C., according to Texas House Democratic Caucus leadership.<\/p>\n One of the members found out about their positive test late on Friday evening but did not have symptoms, officials say. All House members were notified of the positive tests and were all tested themselves immediately. <\/p>\n The caucus says that the two other members found out about their positive test on Saturday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I wish illness on no one, and hope for a speedy recovery of those infected. Masks would have made no difference anyway. <\/p>\n Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
