You're right, it doesn't matter for the petition, but maybe it does matter for the vote after the petition is filed to release the Epstein files. Maybe Johnson needs that vote to reach a majority of "no" votes on releasing the files. If they had a "no" majority now they could simply allow the petition to reach 218 and then vote "no" on releasing the files.
