McCarthy is switching his vote to adjourn to vote to no. McCarthy has flipped someone.

Gaetz walked up to him, Kevin got super excited and immediately changed his vote.

For a glorious moment it was 217-217 and it was perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

The rules around timing to stop voting seem really lax. The numbers are flipping all over the place, it was tied 217-217 and now it's changed to 205 N - 229 Y several minutes after the timer hit zero.

Looked like Rogers was calling Gaetz an rear end in a top hat and trying to get in his face.

I am very much enjoying Republicans having to reap what they sowed in allowing stupid assholes like Gaetz to get into office, and even keep that office. It won't last forever, but it's funny as hell right now.

ok, so it (probably) took this house 15 ballots to elect a speaker. Where does this rank? We know this is the dumbest house speaker vote in modern US history, but how would this vote rank in all-time old-timey US history?

Top 5, I think. There’s a really stupid outlier sitting at #1, no danger of taking that record :(
