Two more members of a Texas Democratic Party delegation of lawmakers who fled their state delaying passage of what they say are restrictive voting laws have tested positive for COVID-19, officials said on Sunday.
The Texas House Democratic Caucus said in an emailed statement that it's now providing daily COVID testing for the more than 50 lawmakers who fled Texas. So far, five delegation members have tested positive for COVID - and all are fully vaccinated.
Harris' office said that they did not think the vice president, who is fully vaccinated, nor her staff were at risk of exposure as they were not in close contact with any of the five delegation members who have tested positive. COVID-19 cases in the United States have surged over the past week with new cases up 70% and deaths rising 26%.
The proposed voting law would prohibit drive-through and 24-hour voting locations, add new identification requirements to mail-in voting and empower partisan poll watchers.
