seedsinputinspocket@tomwatson Jeffries clearly got the most votes, why are they voting over and over again?
@seedsinputinspocket @tomwatson
Requires a majority of votes cast, currently that is 218 votes. No one has gotten 218 yet.

Not sure if yours is a serious question or not, but in an oddly small-d democratic institution that has not yet been set on fire and cast into the four winds, the current rules are that in a vote for Speaker of the House, the winner must win with one vote more than 50% of all votes, not just the largest number of votes.

@DopeGhoti @tomwatson thank you for answering on the assumption I was being earnest. For indeed I was. I am not American and not as familiar with Congressional practices and procedures as you are.
Jeff@tomwatson Republicans hate democracy
