I found out they only need 7-10 Republicans to stay home (not vote) to lower the needed count to 210. Then Jeffries would win!

So the conservatives who didn’t want to vote for a MAGA extremist could just stay home.

McHenry’s office is calling me back with the exact number.

Way back in 1849, the House had been in session so long without being able to elect a speaker – 19 days – that members voted to elect their speaker with a plurality rather than a majority. Members ultimately confirmed the plurality election with a majority vote. For the sake of our country, shouldn’t we do this and let Jeffries be Speaker? It’s been about a month!

Jess I hope it is okay to add this - there are multiple opportunities to textbank for GOTV for VA and PA (Supreme Court race) with Next Gen at https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/584146/.

I plan to do as much as I can between now and election day. I will also look into ballot curing this weekend if they have available shifts.

I just signed up to send 25 post cards. Thanks for the info on this opportunity. Often, you have to choose to accept 100 or more and I just can't do that many right now. Thanks for the info!
