What I read and am hoping is that Democrats are then allowed to pick. Supposedly there is a time limit and eventually it passes to the dems. And they all have united behind 1 pick. So it will be an instant vote and done situation

I won't claim to be an expert on the subject, but I don't think there are any limits on how long the votes can go on unless the House imposes such a limit.

And if the House decided to go with a plurality, that might result in scaring the dissenters back into the fold to prevent a Jeffries speakership.

And that 5th vote against McCarthy will be the death sentence of this vote as well. 6 rounds down, how many more to go?

This will probably be the final vote of the day btw.

They should change the rules so that future votes go like this:

Round 6: "Has anyone changed their minds?"
*No one responds*
"OK, on to round 7."

That's the question of the hour. You would think the GOP wouldn't start another vote until they had an idea that something would be meaningfully different...

But I guess this is just gonna go on for days at the very least... possibly weeks or months. This is absolute dysfunction in the house GOP.

No this is certainly a government problem ontop of being a GOP problem. We're running of a system designed back in 1776 that has never been updated to reflect modern times and modern issues. There's no reason there should be endless voting like this, but that's just how the system is written and no one has ever changed it.

Fundamentally a lot of issues with the government can be attributed to the US running a system that just doesn't work well because it was designed to work when there was less states and less people.

It's up to the GOP to agree on the speaker since they have the majority, but they aren't coming very close after 6 rounds of voting. They've coddled the MAGA caucus for 7 years or so, and this dysfunction is pretty much the inevitable result.

What happens if the dems still get one rep more votes than this mccarthy character one of these rounds? Does mccarthy still get to try again or does that dem rep win?

In order to be elected speaker, you have to get a majority of the "person votes."
  • There are 435 total house representatives (although we technically have 0 since they can't be sworn in until the speaker is elected)
  • If 218 people vote for Kevin McCarthy and 217 people vote for Jeffries, then McCarthy becomes speaker.
  • If 216 people vote for Kevin McCarthy, 217 people vote for Jeffries, and 2 people vote for Donalds, no one is elected and another vote is necessary.
  • If people either don't vote at all or vote present, that decreases the threshold needed to elect a speaker since the majority of the total "person votes" would be a lesser number.
