Agree state subversion seems more plausible than Congress overturning a result itself. And the fact that we're debating how exactly election subversion might take place underscores the threat. Not likely or certain, but unacceptably high.
Worse scenarios are possible. A pivotal state leg dismisses a result it doesn't like based on dubious fraud allegations and sends its own electors + Supreme Court refuses to intervene, saying states decide how to allocate electors. Then Congress just says it's following the Court
I agree the votes aren't there in Congress to overturn an election on Four Seasons Landscaping-level grounds right now, but a veneer of plausibility and/or a shift in the status quo could change the calculations dramatically.
