Several of the Texas Democrats who fled the state capital to avoid voting on an election integrity bill have tested positive for the coronavirus.
Three of the 60 Texas House Democrats tested positive for the virus while in Washington, DC, according to the leadership of the Texas House Democratic Caucus.
One of the members found his test positive late Friday night but showed no symptoms, officials said. All members of the House were informed of the positive tests and were all tested themselves immediately.

The caucus says the other two members found their test positive on Saturday.
Members who test positive will be forced to self-isolate for 10 days.
Earlier this week, Democratic lawmakers fled to the nation’s capital to avoid participating in a quorum vote on a Republican bill to strengthen voter ID requirements for mail-in ballots. The bill also bans drive-thru and early night voting.
