My bet is there is a REASON for them voting like this (before the election counting is finished in all the states).
Since McCarthy is the Republican choice for House Speaker... they can now finalize the election counting and Republicans can win the House majority by 2 seats.
If McCarthy wasn't elected... so sorry. Republicans would LOSE by 2 seats, and Democrats would take over the house (find extra ballots to win)... and Pelosi would take over as speaker again.
You have to realize these people are ALL slimy swamp creatures. The vote was held now, while there's still time to rig the election outcomes.
Not really. Nominations happen on the house floor before the actual vote by the new Congress. This is all just "we intend to vote for McCarthy when it's time"
The GOP hasn't won the House yet.

"Statistically impossible" doesn't seem to matter to Dems when there are mail in ballots in the mix
