Some relevant bits pulled out, but obviously left out lots in between which I'm not sure if it makes any difference to the meaning.
"The second scenario results from an uncertain disputed or deadlocked electoral outcome. Here’s a simplified analysis of that very convoluted process."
blah blah blah
"On Jan. 20 is the presidential inauguration, but if the House fails to select a president by then, the law requires the vice president to elect to become acting president until the House selects the president. If, however, the Senate has failed to select a vice president and the House has not elected a president, under the Presidential Succession Act, the Speaker of the House becomes acting president. It is this scenario — if the Electoral College, Senate, and House end up with total institutional deadlock — that would elevate Speaker Pelosi to acting president of the country."

Ouch!!
I don't get to read the Baltimore Sun so this one escaped my attention.
All I have to say is if you want a convoluted process that leads to confusion then get legal minds involved.
Thanks for the link.
I don't think it will get this far. With modern communications and the expressions of congratulations from many of the allies of the USA towards Biden, I'm thinking only a senseless idiot would be prepared to push things to that extreme.
But I acknowledge that I have been wrong before and no doubt will be again.
