(repost; didn't realize was end of bread)
But I have a question about this Speaker vote:
There were some missing (muh covid) plus the one that just passed away, (who I assume will need to be replaced? Does he get replaced with the Dem he faced? )
They are supposed to have 218 votes and Nancy had 217. Do the ones missing get to still vote?
Kind of like the absentee voting we have for general election?
And if they do, could that possibly change anything? (I am guessing no, but just asking these questions as I am learning…..50 y/o and I never paid attention to politics until now…)
