Why don't Republicans use ranked voting for speaker of the house. It might be a faster to get to what they need: nominate everyone, then do a second turn with the top 5 vote getters as ranked voting. Would make the process smoother

@TNLNYC they did use it.
The problem is that they didn't all agree that they would all back the result of the vote, and so it didn't matter.
Ranked voting can help you figure out the candidate with the most support, but in this particular case they mathematically need almost unanimous support, and ranked voting can't help with that.
