Anonymous vote...
I was thinking about this...
I don't think the vote should be hidden since the Senators do represent us (I also wonder though if this is why the Senators were originally chosen by the States before the 17th Amendment)
However, in the spirit of letting the flames of the moment die down, could they have had a secret ballot which wouldn't be opened until Jan 1 2022? This would still allow the public to know how their Senator voted, but it would let a lot of tension out.
