Texas Democrats’ drive to focus Washington on voting rights has been pushed off course by a Covid outbreak and a crush of other activity in Congress that’s now soaking up attention during their second week in the capital

.

Some meetings have continued: Members met with House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn on Tuesday — but it was held over Zoom. But the diagnoses have scrambled the delegation’s plans and behavior — and invited more criticism from Republicans, who have said the quorum break won’t win Democrats any leverage over their elections legislation. Many of the Democrats were maskless on their charter flights to Washington, and face coverings were rare among members in meetings and in their hotel.

Texas state Rep. Jasmine Crockett said she got the impression from the Clyburn meeting that the Texas Democrats’ arrival in D.C. had “tipped the scale” on voting rights and injected new energy into the issue. She said he encouraged them to keep taking meetings and working with federal lawmakers to think “outside the box” on voting rights action, as Democrats’ signature elections legislation remains stalled in the Senate.
