Total so far is 13 votes for someone other then Jordan (5 for McCarthy, 4, for Scalise, 3 for Zeldin, 1 for Garcia), 1 absent, 4 did not vote.

Sounds like Jeffries will get more than anyone else this round.  Can't believe there aren't 7 Republicans with the cajones to do what is right and vote for Jeffries.

 The Rs have a majority, but a very slim one.  It doesn't take many to mess up a speaker vote.   As we have seen.   I wonder how many speaker votes have ended with some dissent from the caucus other than this session of Congress.   Did Pelosi ever receive a no vote from a D in all her years as speaker?   Did Hastert?  Did anyone else?

It is rarely unanimous, but it is also rare that a second vote is needed no matter the size of the majority. Pelosi's last election to Speaker, when Democrats held a similarly slim majority, there were two votes for others.

" Multiple roll calls have been necessary only 15 times since 1789; and, at the time, not since 1923 (68th Congress), when a closely divided House needed 9 ballots to elect Frederick H. Gillett speaker"

So McCarthy and now Jordan are unprecedented in the last 100 years.

Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

Would only require 5, I believe.

depends on no shows and those who don't vote as it is the majority of "votes cast for a person by name." 

Boehner was elected without a membership majority in 2015. He got 216 votes when a majority of members would have been 218.

Are they going to vote again today?   Is Jordan going to put an arm bar on anyone?   1/2 Nelson?   Full Nelson?   Why is it called a Nelson anyway?

He's currently down on bottom and was part of the Ohio State wrestling program for a time being.  What in the world makes you think he has any chance escaping this with a victory?

There is a passage by white boy rastas Stick Figure and Slightly Stoopid that I believe are more than fitting for the vote today:

Who wants control, over everything?

If money steals your soul, only trouble it will bring.

It's loving as a whole, the only thing for conquers we.

So let it be told, let the whole world dem sing.
