Interesting info - that would explain why they were pushing for another impeachment round but that doesn't explain why they adjourned (unless I'm mistaken).
There's no Constitutional basis for holding a new election. The Constitution provides Congress the authority to designate the line of succession after the Vice President.
If the President-Elect and Vice-President Elect are unable to assume the Presidency then it would go to Nancy Pelosi, if she can't, then Chuck Grassley, Pompeo, Mnuchin, Miller, ... until 2024.
The military would follow the constitution and "install" the first person on the list that isn't a foreign agent, etc.
The problem is that every state that used compromised voting machines can be declared to have failed to hold a valid election. Which is almost ALL of them. Except Texas (whoop!) who refused to use Dominion because they failed almost every metric of security.
Personally, I'd rather see a revote, paper ballots, overseen by the military, because we all know how THAT would go. No worries about line'of'succession bs.
