The chamber has been without a leader for weeks because of GOP infighting.

    The rule should be if they don’t get a person voted in then the democrats get to pick a republican to serve. The person chosen must serve.

      I think it should be the person with the highest number of votes, Democrat or Republican.

          This is the exact way Trump won the 2016 primary.

          Stuff the choices out so much that there’s 7 shit candidates and 2 almost-passable candidates. Then hope one of your 7 can outlast both of the other 2.

        This could be better than the current situation but I could imagine a lot of side effects to that system. Maybe if there was a lower threshold that had to be met so we couldn’t have situations where someone with 20 votes wins.

      I can get behind this. A lot of effort invested into tweaking the rules of sortsball lately to keep things fresh when these are the changes we need.
