6. NOW it's (almost) "official"! 218 votes and still going.
It'll be (technically) "official" when the House Clerk says so and registers the vote.

7. 228 to 199, 8 not (yet) voting. It seems the effective Dem margin is 29 votes.
I tend to wonder whether that's the "cushion" we'll be able to use as a rule-of-thumb for the next two years.

8. That seems to be the same (or a little larger) as the Repugs' majority
before. They had around the same number so we'll be fine.

10. It's (now) offically 233-202 ... a 31 vote margin.

Mildly interesting that the 8 (delayed?) votes seemed to break 5-3.
