Even if all 2020 election results were declared void and set aside, there still exists a Senate, about 2/3rds full - people elected in '16 and '18. And many of the vacancies could be quickly filled by Governors' appointments. This means there would be a legitimate Senate Pro Tem to succeed to the Presidency.
