--Democrats objected 11 times, citing a variety of issues, including "Russian interference," "massive voter suppression" and the "violation of the Voting Rights Act."
--At one point, Rep. Maxine Watters, D-Calif., stood and asked for a senator to join them. Only four Democratic senators attended the ceremony.
---Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said it was "embarrassing" for House Democrats that they couldn't get a senator to join the protest.
----Every objection must be made in writing and signed by one member of the House and one senator.
--In 2001, when Democrats objected after the contested election between George Bush and Vice President Al Gore, no senator joined an objection then either. During that process, Gore, as vice-president, presided over the process.
