Before, all it took was one member of the House to raise an objection, now it's 20%. I'm guessing that the 20% wasn't met, but I'm sure some tried. I just wanna know who.

A few Democrats also objected in 2000 and 2004. As to why, on grounds of insurrection and the 14th.

No objections and no faithless electors, though we would have heard about those after the State Electors voted in December.

and was looking forward to hearing our side threw the 14th amendment at the repugs and they
had no good defense, just rhetoric and the question of insurrection was going to the SCOTUS.
Very disappointed nothing happened today, when in the hell are we going to throw the 14th
into the gearbox? We need to quit being nice!
