They didn't “lower the threshold”.
The threshold automatically lowers with more “present” votes.
Enough voting already.

Clearly I understand.

By voting Present instead of voting FOR someone other than McCarthy you are lowering the threshold required to allow him to win the election.

Again, clearly the 216 votes for McCarthy and the 212 votes for Jeffries was never going to change. Making them stay in session all weekend would have been better in my not so humble opinion.

Lowering the threshold at midnight on Saturday morning is what we can expect to see for the next 2 years.
