This is the part I don’t like - Congress picking our President.
“Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.”

After thoroughly researching this subject, I find that I will be perfectly satisfied if we stick to the Constitution. If that means Biden or Hillary would be President, then fine. We need the Constitution for a million other essential reasons in the future. Trashing it now will kill us later. Not just people; it will kill our great Republic.
It's not so much about who is President for me at this point. It's the Broken Window Theory now.
I don’t see where it says that Congress gets to select the President. To me it says that they can select someone who will “act” as President until another President has qualified.
The question in my mind is how does a subsequent candidate become the President and then qualify?
Does the electoral college choose from among the remaining candidates? Do we have another national election?
Moot, I guess. Biden will not fail to qualify.
I don’t like it either, but it is the constitution. And fraud is fraud, so we need to uphold the rule of law.

No. The Presidential Succession Act of 1947 would apply. So we would go by the regular Presidential Line of Succession, starting with San Fran Nan. Of course, before anyone could become Acting President, after the VP, would have to resign from any other office that person held before such a person could become Acting President.
