The purpose of a Motion to Reconsider is to delay an approved motion from taking effect until the end of the following business day if an absentee can be convinced to join the quorum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconsideration_of_a_motion#Legislative_use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconsideration_of_a_motion#Le... Here is the roll call on the 212-212 tie vote on the Biggs Amendment which would require a warrant: https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024114 https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024114 Thirteen members did not vote on that roll call. Any one of them could tip the balance: Babin Republican Texas Not Voting Gallego Democratic Arizona Not Voting González-Colón Republican Puerto Rico Not Voting Grijalva Democratic Arizona Not Voting Lesko Republican Arizona Not Voting Luetkemeyer Republican Missouri Not Voting Mooney Republican West Virginia Not Voting Payne Democratic New Jersey Not Voting Perez Democratic Washington Not Voting Plaskett Democratic Virgin Islands Not Voting Radewagen Republican American Samoa Not Voting Strickland Democratic Washington Not Voting Wittman Republican Virginia Not Voting All but one of these representatives did not vote at all today, which means they are likely not in Washington. Hopefully one or more can be convinced to fly there in the next 48 hours. The exception is Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, who was on the floor today and voted on every measure except the Biggs Amendment. This means she effectively voted against it. Her district covers the southwestern part of Washington State (Pacific, Chehailis, Lewis, Clark, Skamania, Wahkiakum, and Cowlitz Counties). If you live there, give her a call at (202) 225-3536 (from here: https://clerk.house.gov/Members/G000600 https://clerk.house.gov/Members/G000600 )
