The new Congress, elected in 2020, gets to review who is appointed to the electoral college. If the election is somehow recognized as flawed or biased, the incumbent's term is still over on January 20 and the Speaker of the House would become president. From there, through nominating a vice and resignation, Nancy could if she chose put the Democratic ticket in place.
Still a what if, but it shows the futility of trying to make things seem invalid.
I suppose if Trump tried to pretend the congressional elections were invalid too...
I think the point was missed. Trump doesn't want to invalidate the election. He wants to invalidate the government. Creating disharmony on an epic scale may very well get the job done. Kristallnacht anyone?
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
