What happens on Jan 20th, 2021? By that point a President will have already been elected one way or the other. If neither candidate has a majority of the Electors on the day the Congress meets to tabulate the Electoral College's votes, the House will elect the President and the Senate will elect the Vice President.

I was thinking about this.
Prefer Pelosi to Harris.
Flame away!
Who is next after Nancy?

That depends on what happens on December 14, 2020.

Civil war happens. What do you think? Do you think one half of the country is going to let Crazy Nan take over the Whitehouse? At that point I’ll be out in the street. This election is going to be decided long before Jan 20th.

December 14 is the Election Certification. Won’t somebody have to be decided by then?

The courts should not take months to resolve this. The Electoral College vote is already established for a date in December under Federal law (the Monday after the second Wednesday in December), and the court challenges will almost certainly have to be resolved before that.
In a surreal scenario where bedlam and uncertainty still exists by that EC date, it would not be out of line for the legislatures of the contested states to vote on their own slate of electors to send to the Electoral College vote.
All of the contested states except Nevada have REPUBLICAN legislatures.
As I said last night as this drama began to unfold ... the U.S. is going to get an awesome lesson in civics and constitutional law over the next few weeks.

The ultimate answer is the SC.
They will have two choices: trigger limited war with good guys controlling govt hardware, or trigger a much worse war with bad guys controlling it.

Possibly. It’s been wargamed, and there are plenty of other possibilities, though.
Last time (only time) this happened, 1876, the R’s and D’s got together and compromised. Before they did, though, there were some troop movements.

The standing army is not a factor, it is too little to matter.
