No complaints. I just thought that it might be appropriate to investigate the facts before assembling a lynch mob.

You mean the SC he is stacking with a nakedly partisan judge? Gee, how could that go wrong.
Sending out multiple ballots means nothing. I got 3 for the primary. You only send one back, or they get tossed. Just like in person voting. Try to vote more than once, you get arrested, it isn't hard.

Look, you seem new to forum 909, but the whole “but my questions are not being answered to my satisfaction” trope gets old quick.
From the Wikipedia article that you seemed to not read:
“A motion to suspend the rules is in order on Mondays and Tuesdays and towards the end of a session of Congress and may only be made by the Speaker of the House or their designee, though it is customary for committee chairs to write the Speaker requesting a suspension“.
Nearly everyone was in favor, the “suspend the rules and pass” was initiated by the Speaker or her designee and then, (one guesses), one of the five eventual “nays” requests a recorded vote, otherwise it’d’ve been recorded as “passed via unanimous-consent”.
“Who made the “suspend the rules and pass” in this particular case?
Don’t know.
If it’s really important to you, go find it yourself.

The video of the debate can be found at:
House Session, Part 1 | C-SPAN.org
Starting at 5:02:18
Because it was considered under a suspension of the rules, there are no amendments permitted.

I believe I see now why some voted Nay. The vote was to suspend the rules, prohibit amendments, and to pass this resolution.
Still it not as bad as having to pass it; before you can find out what's in it.

So a resolution that passed Mitch McConnell’s Senate by “unanimous consent”, and is not “controversial”, (obviously since it passed 397-5), that the House “reaffirms” the “peaceful transfer of power” as prescribed in the constitution that was just one of 20 bills that were under “suspend the rules and pass”.C-SPAN said:
But be my guest to try to make this more sinister than it is.

My wife has the gift of premonition. Last night she dreamed that Federal squads were in our home seizing guns, knives, “unauthorized foods” and stored water. They said we had been “reported”. Becca awoke crying. What happened to our freedom? She asked. What indeed.
This esteemed GOP representative is definitely not planning a peaceful transition of power. To the contrary, he's playing with fire.
