who voted present and other?
(Wikipedia)
Representatives voting for someone other than their party's speaker nominee were:
■ Jared Golden, who voted for Tammy Duckworth, who was not a member of the House at the time;
■ Conor Lamb, who voted for Hakeem Jeffries;
■ Mikie Sherrill, Abigail Spanberger, and Elissa Slotkin, who voted "Present". -

Democrats are breaking all kinds of records for installing geezers into office!
BTW: Boehner was elected with a similar slim vote.
