If a state’s election is invalidated. That means there is no elected Presidential, Senatorial, or Representatives either - correct? ... So let’s say 3 states were invalidated, that would mean 47 states.

If I’m following you, I think only the election is invalidated, not the state. If the choice of President comes down to a vote in the House, I believe all 50 states would participate in the vote. The voided election “penalty” doesn’t carry over to the next remedy.
As for the Senate and House races, they may have to hold another election for those positions since, technically, the positions aren’t filled.

That’s my point, the Senate and House positions are not filled for those states if the election is not valid, and they would likely not have time to have a new election before the Jan. 6 certification for President.
The constitution is clear that their terms are over on the specified date.
So if it came down to a vote in the House, those 3 states would have no representatives in the house. So that state having no representatives, would not get to cast a vote, unless there is some election law providing for that—the constitution specifies for the President, in case of electoral issues, not the senate or house.
