As I said, I’d think Stefanik and Waltz take their oath, vote on a Speaker, and then resign. That puts them at 215 + whatever they get out of the remaining 6. It could be 218-214 for normal course of business. Of course if Dems won all 6 (unlikely) it could be 215-217 Dems.

Still likely 219 unless Peltola pulls off a miracle ColinC Nov 14 #7

Gotcha. underpants Nov 14 #8

Decisiondesk has it at only 4 undecided. ColinC Nov 14 #15

The rank choice voting always saves Peltola... I'm hoping for it this time. In It to Win It Nov 14 #10

I guess it's still possible Wiz Imp Nov 14 #17

According to this site, it is 219 - 212 with 4 uncalled. Wiz Imp Nov 14 #9

So for at least some time it could 217-214 for votes underpants Nov 14 #11

Yep. Wiz Imp Nov 14 #12

However, looking short term...at, say, 220R/215D haele Nov 14 #13

RIght. After reviewing and thinking about it, I realized why they wouldn't call it until the 2nd choice votes Wiz Imp Nov 14 #19

RCP has 219, so 218 might be without Gaetz IbogaProject Nov 14 #20
