WASHINGTON — It took only two days for majority Republicans in the House to suffer their first embarrassment. Two of their members voted a half- dozen times Wednesday before they were sworn in.

Reps. Pete Sessions, the House Republican campaign chairman, and Mike Fitzpatrick were at a reception when other members took the oath. The two men saw House Speaker John Boehner swearing in members on television and raised their hands before the screen, believing they were taking the oath. They were officially sworn in Thursday.
