Can someone explain how voting for the speakership works?

Since the Republicans have the majority, do the Dems even have a say in who gets on the ballot?

If so, what's to stop them from fielding their own candidate and pulling in a few RINOs (they'd need less than 10 for a majority) to vote for that person?

Nothing. They just need the RINOs to vote for their RAT nominee.
