In case you were wondering: a complete list of who vote for which candidates for speaker
Nine repubs voted for someone other than Boehner. Five Democrats voted for someone other than Pelosi. One repub voted "present". Six members (three repubs, including Boehner) and three Democrats (including John Lewis who was absent due to the death of his wife) did not vote. One of the Democrats who did not vote for Pelosi was John Barrow of Georgia, who cast his vote for John Lewis, possibly as a tribute.
