Shouldn’t bating have an extra “i” so it would be baiting?

Is this one of the last tests to go from an apprentice baiter to a master?

He doesn’t want to participate in de bate. So don’t try and bait him.

In conclaves, all the cardinals can vote—but only those under 80 can get in, and you need 2/3 plus 1 to get elected.
