What motion can be used to count votes if a voice vote is too close to determine the outcome?

Division of the House
Point of Order
Motion to Reconsider
Call for the Previous Question

The correct answer is: Division of the House

The option referring to the "Division of the House" is the correct choice because it is a formal method used in parliamentary procedure to secure a more accurate vote count when a voice vote yields uncertain results. Upon calling for a division, members will physically separate into groups based on their votes, allowing for a clear tally. This method is essential when the outcome of the voice vote is ambiguous and ensures that every member's opinion is counted correctly. The other options, while related to procedural rules, do not pertain specifically to counting votes. A point of order is used to call attention to a breach of rules, but it does not facilitate the counting of votes. The motion to reconsider allows members to bring back a vote for a second discussion at a later time but does not directly help in counting votes. Lastly, calling for the previous question is a motion intended to close debate and move forward to a vote, rather than a method for counting votes that were previously cast.
