Democrats have protested election results in every cycle when a Republican won the White House for at least two decades .

Democrats typically have used the formal certification of GOP presidential wins to air objections to how certain states carried out their elections.

But they're treading much more carefully this year after four years in which they've accused Trump of directing his supporters to the Capitol for the explicit purpose of overturning President Biden ’s victory.

In 2005 , the CBC led the charge against the electoral count in Ohio , where liberals objected to voting rules they said suppressed the minority vote.

In 2017 , a number of Democrats stood to challenge Florida ’s electoral count citing Russian interference in the election and alleged violations of the Voting Rights Act .

This time around, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Mississippi) says he has no plans to protest.
