Oh, I didn't know people actually liked the results posts. I had been thinking of stopping them going forward and we'll see how present I can be for them depending on how long this drags out but I guess I'll try to carry on.

Catching up on what they did after I bounced - they actually had two more ballots, 10 and 11. Just the Never Kevins moving around.

Speaker Vote (Ballot 10) Results:

Jeffries (D) - 212 (49.07%)

Biggs, Crane, Harris, and Rosendale join Boebert, Brecheen, and Gaetz on Hern to increase his total to 7.

With us assured a 12th ballot and 4th day at the very least, this Speaker election has officially moved into a tie for 5th longest in terms of number of ballots (1821 was decided on the 12th ballot) and an outright 4th in terms of time elapsed as all but 3 were resolved on or before 3 days.

Following that they voted to adjourn. Burchett was the only Republican to join all 212 Dems in voting against adjourning. (Final vote was 219-213 to adjourn.) A bit more on Burchett because his vote against adjourning struck me as curious seeing how he's a McCarthy voter. Turns out he released a letter to Biden asking for federal agencies to work with congresspeople-elect even if they're not sworn in so I guess that's his angle. Well, we'll be back at noon I guess.
