Good question - but not relevant to THIS question
Bernie's big claim to fame is that HE's different than the rest. So it doesn't matter what the rest of them did or didn't do. Why didn't BERNIE do speak up today?

Where was Bernie today?
"Toward the end of the process, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., stood and asked if any senator would stand with House members, but none did."
Bernie's been very vocal lately about criticizing the Democrats. So why didn't he speak up today when it really mattered?

UPDATE » UFA has just confirmed House Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA) has agreed to file an objection against electoral votes tomorrow (Jan. 6) if we can find ONE Senator to join her. These are the top Senators to contact:
Sen. Al Franken (D-MN / 202.224.5641)
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY / 202.224.6542)
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT / 202.224.2823)
and YOUR local Democratic Senator
This is massive. Late last night a bombshell report was released by a team of legal experts uncovering over 50 Republican electoral votes for Trump that cannot be certified because they were cast in direct violation of state and federal law:
16 Republican electors lived outside the congressional districts they represented
34 additional Republican electors held dual offices as a presidential elector and a state official
The report also finds 16 Democrat electoral votes that were cast in direct violation of election laws.

Not sure why Bernie's not on this list, but he can certainly step up and stand with Rep. Lee on this.
Bernie says he wants a revolution - here's his chance
